Chapter 147 I have the right to remain silent until my lawyer arrives on the scene!
Anson Lu glanced at Lorenzo's message, raised his eyebrows, and thought to himself: Lorenzo wants to discuss something with me? What could it be?
[Anson Lu: If you have time, just tell me what you want. ]
[Lorenzo: You just left the dungeon, so you probably haven't heard that the capital of South Korea has fallen.]
A hint of surprise flashed across Anson Deer's eyes.
[Anson Deer: The capital has fallen. Is it that serious? ]
[Lorenzo: That's right. You also know that the difficulty of the fourth round of dungeons is abnormal. Regarding this situation, the Evolution Foundation speculates that the difficulty of the dungeons will increase sharply after every four rounds.]
[Anson Lu: For the time being, this speculation cannot be confirmed. After all, the fifth round of dungeons has not yet begun. They can't dig a hole for themselves, right? ]
[Lorenzo: In order to appease the people, I can only temporarily put forward this conclusion and pray that the difficulty of the next round of dungeons will not be so excessive. If the difficulty of the next round of dungeons remains at this level, the death rate of players and the rate of the city's fall will only rise sharply.]
[Anson Lu: That’s true, so you came to me? ]
[Lorenzo: I need your help. In the fourth round of the dungeon, five players from our law enforcement team died. If there are more casualties, it will be difficult for us to communicate with the outside world.]
【Lorenzo: However, if we leave Seoul, South Korea alone, there will only be more and more colonial monsters. 】
[Anson Lu: I understand. You want me to help you retake Seoul. ]
[Lorenzo: We will complete most of the recovery work by ourselves, but in order to ensure that there are no casualties, I need you to help me complete the most difficult part. It’s up to you whether you come to see me or not. I’m not forcing you.]
Anson Deer shrugged.
He knew without even having to think about it what the most difficult part Lorenzo was talking about was, which must be the boss of the Seoul dungeon.
【Anson Lu: Tell me the time. 】
【Lorenzo: Tomorrow, at 2pm, our law enforcement team will be out in force.】
[Anson Deer: Give me an analysis of that Boss, and I'll come tomorrow. ]
【Lorenzo: I’ll send it to you later. Thanks, Anson. 】
[Anson Lu: You helped me before, so I owe you a favor.]
After Anson Deer finished typing, he turned the leather chair around and opened the curtains at the back. "Kangaroo, put the wine in the cabinet into your pocket. Christmas sleigh, come in front of me."
"Gaba."
The alien kangaroo moved quickly and put the bottles of aged wine from the principal's collection into his pocket.
“Yo——!!!”
Then, the Christmas sleigh came galloping from the other side of the sky, and two reindeer lowered their heads waiting for orders.
"go home."
Anson the Deer and the Alien Kangaroo got on the sled, and the reindeer stepped into the air, dragging the sled towards the sky of Shangshi City. Students in the teaching building saw its shadow passing across the sky for a moment.
At the same time, at the top of a skyscraper in New York, USA.
Five figures can be seen in the office, three of them are standing in front of the desk, another is sitting on the desk, and the last is sitting on the swivel chair behind the desk.
"So, Captain, will that guy come?"
Cosimo asked casually, sitting on his desk, shaking his calves.
"Yes." Lorenzo sat on the swivel chair, closed the chat panel, and raised his blue eyes. "In fact, considering Anson Lu's personality, there is no way he won't come."
Cosimo raised his lips, and said sarcastically, "Oh, that's pretty safe. The world's number one is here."
Lorenzo turned his eyes and looked at Cosimo expressionlessly, "Is your relationship already so good?"
"Who is on good terms with that guy?" Cosimo was stunned for a moment and curled his lips.
At this time, the woman standing in front of the desk spoke.
"Captain, is it really necessary to look for someone from Hell Lighthouse?"
The woman had blue hair tied into several braids that stuck back. Her facial features were sharp and seductive, like a venomous snake.
This person's name is Avril, she is Russian. She is also the 28th member of the law enforcement team. Her sequence name is: Abyss Dancer. She ranked 53rd in the last world ranking.
Next to the Abyss Dancer stood two members of the law enforcement team.
One of them was named Vino, and he was British.
His sequence is called "Ember Circus" and was ranked 16th in the last world rankings.
The other one is named Gu Qiu (sequence name: The Matrix).
Lorenzo looked at Avril, took a sip of water, and said calmly: "Avril, you know what level the bosses of the fourth round of dungeons are, especially the capital-level dungeons."
Avril still couldn't accept it. "Since the captain said so, let me see what the team called Hell Lighthouse is capable of."
It is clear that the law enforcement team is the most authoritative official organization, but its reputation among citizens is always overshadowed by the "Hell Lighthouse" that has never been publicly released.
This incident made Avril a little annoyed.
What’s even more annoying is that in the face of such a major event, the Law Enforcement Team clearly has an opportunity to prove that they are the absolutely authoritative world’s number one player union.
However, as the captain of the law enforcement team, Lorenzo turned to the Hell Lighthouse, which she disliked, for the sake of safety and to avoid unnecessary casualties.
Not only is it annoying, it's also confusing.
Seeing that Avril didn't say anything else, Lorenzo withdrew his gaze from her, and his blue eyes turned to look at the other silent person.
"Gu Qiu, you should have no objection."
"No objection." Gu Qiu replied calmly.
Lorenzo met his gaze and spoke almost word by word: "Although we have had grievances with Anson Deer, that is all in the past. I hope that you will not act emotionally during this cooperation."
Gu Qiu nodded and said without emotion, "Not really, Captain. I can still distinguish between public and private matters."
"That's all for today." Lorenzo looked at Vino, who was standing in the middle of the three people, and said without question:
"Vino, once the Evolution Foundation analyzes the Seoul Boss's data, send it to me as soon as possible."
"Understood." Vino also nodded.
"There is nothing more to say. Let's all have a good rest and prepare for tomorrow." After a pause, Lorenzo stopped Cosimo who was about to leave and said, "Cosimo, you stay. The others go out first."
After he gave the order, Avril, Vino and Gu Qiu walked out of the office quickly without any hesitation.
At this moment, Cosimo jumped down from his desk and asked in confusion:
"Brother, what do you want from me?"
Lorenzo turned on the smart projection TV in the office. On the projection screen on the wall, the Evolution Foundation's new round of copy video analysis of the old chess players was playing.
The Foundation has done a lot of research, analyzing and explaining almost all the sequence skills demonstrated by Anson Deer, as well as the new chess types.
In the sequence player ability distribution map at the end, the ability distribution map of Anson Deer given by the Foundation is a hexagonal pattern - a player with almost no flaws and comprehensive abilities that can only be described as "perfect".
If the Evolution Foundation originally believed that the weakness of the "Old Chess Players" sequence was its over-reliance on the field, once it left the field, it would lose its powerful combat effectiveness.
Well, after the third and fourth rounds of copies, according to Lorenzo's report and the citizen video footage of the fourth round, Anson Deer has grown into an existence that cannot be described in words.
Lorenzo crossed his fingers and placed them on his abdomen, his blue eyes staring quietly at the projection screen.
"Cosimo, tell me honestly, after this round of dungeons, what is your impression of Anson Deer?"
"Very strong, so strong that it is incomprehensible."
"Besides that?"
"I feel...his character is not as bad as I thought." Cosimo hesitated for half a second, "Although he was quite excessive in the previous copy in Disney."
Although his impression of Anson Deer's brutality and gloom had been reduced after one round of dungeons, Cosimo couldn't help but shudder when he recalled the scene of Anson Deer cutting off Gu Qiu's arms.
That is simply not something a human can do.
"I understand." Lorenzo was silent for a moment, then said in a voice without emotion: "You can go out now, Cosimo. Go to bed early tonight and don't play games too late."
"good."
Cosimo nodded and left quickly.
After swiping the card, the automatic sensor door opened, and then closed again as the blond boy walked out.
Lorenzo was the only one left in the office.
"Anson Deer..." Lorenzo took a deep breath, stroking the cross necklace on his chest, and the corners of his lips unconsciously raised, "Who are you?"
After a moment, he slowly turned his head, opened the curtains, and looked down at New York, which was as prosperous as a steel jungle. The high sun at noon shone on this vibrant city, and the streets were crowded with cars.
"I forgot my keys."
Anson Deer stopped in front of the apartment, yawned, and reached out to press the doorbell.
The person who opened the door was Asuka Uesugi.
She frowned, looked at Anson Deer's upturned hair, and couldn't help asking: "Why did you come back so soon, and what's going on with this hair?"
Anson Deer still had tears of fatigue in his eyes. He straightened his messy hair and said, "Fire Penguin, please move aside. I want to go to sleep. By the way, ask the Ice Penguin in my room to make way."
"Huh?" Asuka tilted her head in disbelief. "The meal is almost ready, and you're going to sleep now?"
"Okay, then let's eat and go to bed. I hope Crow's cooking skills won't disappoint me."
"Lu Jun, my cooking skills can only be described as the best chef in Tokyo. Moreover, Chu Qimo's execution is also perfect. I think the dishes made by our partnership will never disappoint you."
Urushihara Ritsu's voice came from inside.
"Oh, then I'll have to test your strength even more." Anson Lu shrugged.
His gaze passed through Asuka and looked at Crow. The shaman was taking off his black windbreaker, revealing a set of grey long-sleeved shirts and trousers.
With his slender figure, anything he wears really suits him.
Asuka Uesugi moved her position to block Anson Lu's view, "After dinner, we're going to Tokyo to watch a movie. You still can't sleep!"
Anson Lu was stunned for a moment, clasped his hands together, and said as if praying to God:
"Tokyo again? Please, I already have PTSD about Tokyo, please don't let me see that place."
"But the cinema in Shangshi is not very good. How about going to Paris, or New York, or Osaka?"
“Is there an option of sleeping?”
"No, but you can sleep in the cinema."
"Without a pillow, I can't sleep comfortably. No place is worse than my doghouse."
"You can sleep on my shoulder." Asuka tilted her cheek.
"Are you serious?"
"Of course it's fake. Teacher Chu's broad shoulders welcome you very much."
Anson Lu walked past Asuka and said, "Indeed, it seems that Mr. Chu's shoulder is definitely the best to rest his head on. Who would choose a penguin like you? Can you please get out of the way!"
After saying that, he took off his shoes and put on slippers, otherwise the floor in winter would really make people shiver.
At this time, Yuri also opened the door and walked out of Anson Deer's room.
She covered her mouth with her white hand and yawned softly, hiding her other hand behind her back. Her clear eyes seemed to be covered with a layer of mist, and it seemed that she had not woken up yet.
"My room is pretty good, isn't it?" Anson Lu shrugged and said calmly, "Do you understand what otakus want from their rooms? I'll max out the comfort level."
Yuri didn't comment, just said, "Thanks."
"Mr. Kangaroo, put out the wine and let Crow take a look. He should be a good wine taster." After Anson Deer said this, he walked into his room.
"Wine?" Urushihara Ritsu asked with interest. He put down the Bible and turned his deep eyes to the side.
I saw a cute blue and white kangaroo walking in from the door. It reached into its pocket, took out bottle after bottle of well-packaged old wine, and placed them on the table.
"Every time I watch it, I think, isn't this really Doraemon?"
Asuka Uesugi hugged her shoulders and couldn't help but poke the back of the alien kangaroo's furry head with her hand.
"Ga Ba?" The Kangaroo breathed a sigh of relief after placing the last bottle of wine.
"You can drink as much as you want. I'll take a rest. Call me when dinner is ready." After Anson Lu's voice fell, the door closed and the sound of him snoring as he fell asleep could be heard from the room.
"No way..." Asuka Uesugi walked into the living room, holding her forehead and sighing: "This guy really fell asleep?"
Chu Qimo took off his apron and walked out of the kitchen. "It's time for dinner. Let the president go to sleep later."
"It's very difficult," Urushihara Ritsu sat on the sofa and opened a bottle of good wine handed to him by Kangaroo-kun, "Once Deer-kun falls down, it will be as difficult as waking up a hibernating bear."
"This..." Yuri suddenly pulled out his hands from behind his back.
"This?" Asuka Uesugi raised her eyebrows and looked at what was in Yuri's hand. It was a magazine.
Yuri said calmly, "Found it under his pillow."
The moment Asuka Uesugi saw the magazine cover, her face turned red. She held her hot cheeks and said, "Pervert! Idiot! Idiot! All boys are the same!"
"What the hell?!"
Anson Deer suddenly woke up, and rushed out of the room at an extremely fast speed like a lion awakening, and then, like a robot locking onto a target, he accurately snatched the magazine from Yuri's hand.
He narrowed his eyes and hid the magazine behind his back. "Come on, alien kangaroo, how could you hide such a dirty thing in your pocket! And you brought it to my room. Do I look like someone who would read such a thing?"
"Gaba?!"
The alien kangaroo tilted its head, its serious face full of confusion, as if saying - look at my thick eyebrows and big eyes, if you want to frame me, at least choose a good target.
At this moment, Yuri put his hand on his chin and stared at Anson Deer motionlessly.
Although the Icelandic girl still had a blank expression on her face, without a trace of emotion, her unflinching eyes made her look like a goddess from the ice and snow world, judging unclean mortals.
“You…”
Asuka Uesugi also put one hand on her waist, her face flushed, and stared at Anson Lu with twitching eyes, as if waiting for an answer.
This scene can only be described as "a double world of ice and fire".
"Gah!"
The alien kangaroo looked at the current situation and fully utilized its 19-point intelligence to sort out the situation - it usually protected this guy from the wind and rain, but at the critical moment, it unexpectedly was framed!
Thinking of this, the alien kangaroo hugged his shoulders and looked at Anson Deer with a serious expression.
"I have the right to remain silent until my lawyer arrives on the scene!"
Anson Lu displayed skills comparable to those of the Chinese national football team. He kicked the magazine into the trash can in the room, and spoke almost word by word with an attitude of "facing thousands of people's criticism with a cold brow".
"Mr. Lu, where did you get all this wine from?"
Anson Lu spread his hands and said, "These are what the principal left behind. He's dead now, so I'll take all the wine."
"I see. These are all good wines that have been around for a long time." Urushihara Ritsu picked up one of the bottles and said quietly:
"For example, this bottle, produced in London in 1888, really surprised me. It's like stepping into history."
"1888?" Anson Deer was stunned.
I don't know why, but this year sounds familiar? Oh, it's the year when Jack the Ripper happened!
"There's nothing to worry about. Since the old man left it here, it must be drinkable." Anson Lu shrugged his shoulders and said loudly, "Anyway, let's eat!"
The aroma of food wafted from the kitchen, and dishes were already placed on the dining table, dazzling the eyes.
Anson Lu couldn't help but sigh that Chu Qimo and Urushihara Ritsu were a perfect match - Mr. Chu's Chinese cuisine was excellent and perfectly satisfied the taste of a stone-climbing man like him; while Urushihara Ritsu had mastered the cooking techniques of cuisines from all over the world, and the dishes he made were so diverse that he could be said to be showing off his skills.
Asuka Uesugi held chopsticks in one hand and used her mobile phone to search for the screening schedules of Tokyo cinemas with the other.
"What movie are we going to watch, Spider-Man?" she asked.
"Haha, we're still watching superhero movies in this day and age." Anson Deer bit a piece of braised beef, "The audience would rather watch the video of the serial player than watch those movies."
"What about horror movies?" asked Asuka Uesugi.
Chu Qimo suggested: "I think Avatar is okay."
Anson Deer said again: "No, I think our life is more magical than Avatar."
"People are like this. In times of peace, they prefer to watch movies about war and adventure." Urushihara Ritsu took a sip of wine and said slowly:
"In times like this, movies that record ordinary life are more popular."
Anson Deer suddenly suggested: "Let's watch the Doraemon movie!"
"Get lost." Asuka pointed at the blue and white kangaroo sitting at the dining table, "Isn't this Doraemon enough for you?"
The alien kangaroo was like a hard laborer who had been exploited for a whole year and had not eaten a single bite of food. It was frantically harvesting food on the table, leaving the five people from the Hell Lighthouse at a loss as to where to start.
Chu Qimo looked at this kangaroo that could be called a "hungry ghost out of its cage" and said meaningfully:
"President, you should be nicer to your pets."
"What's going on, Mr. Kangaroo? It's fine if you just hide pornographic books, but you actually want to snatch food from me?!" Anson Deer was furious. He picked up chopsticks and spoon, joined the battlefield in an even crazier manner, harvesting food like a whirlwind.
"This is really good wine..."
It seemed that Urushihara Ritsu was only concerned with tasting the wine and had little interest in the food on the table.
"It's hopeless." Uesugi Asuka looked at the messy dining table made by one man and one kangaroo, and couldn't help but sighed: "These guys are really hopeless..."
Yuri put down his chopsticks and drank the water quietly.
She stared at the silhouettes of the Anson deer and kangaroos fighting for food, and a barely visible smile flashed across her clear eyes.
