Sometimes, what you fear most is exactly what happens.
Just as Mingmei was asking Mu Chen whether the mission he had been given was "legitimate," someone arrived outside the treehouse.
Unfortunately, these two men were from the Underground City Police Department, and they were there to investigate the death of a boxer in Mu Chen's third boxing match today.
In an instant, Mingmei became alert.
It seems that the identity of the person Mu Chen killed is probably not so simple. Otherwise, shouldn't the death of the boxer in the first match also be investigated?
"I'll go with you."
Regardless of how strange the two security guards at the door, who looked like mixed-race creatures, were looking at them, Mingmei's decision to step forward and take Mu Chen's hand showed her determination.
Mu Chen turned his head and looked tenderly at Mingmei, who was facing away from the room's light. The light in her eyes seemed to pierce through all darkness.
Mu Chen's heart stirred as he looked at Mingmei, who suddenly lowered her head the next second.
She felt the person holding her hand then grasp her hand in return, a feeling that was warm and gentle, yet carried an indescribable domineering quality.
Mingmei looked up and smiled at Mu Chen.
This made the two underground law enforcement officers who came to deliver the message feel slightly displeased.
You mean, they were supposed to go out and arrest one person, so how did they end up arresting a couple?
Moreover, since the other party did not resist or assault the police, how come they were kicked for no reason?
...
Mingmei accompanied Mu Chen to the police station. Since Mingmei hadn't done anything wrong, she couldn't go into the innermost interrogation room. She just sat in the brightly lit hall, watching the humans and non-humans coming and going, and the criminals they were arresting or dragging behind them.
Mingmei found the whole scene before her somewhat comical.
In an alien sea teeming with criminals, she was surprised to see such a setup that resembled a police station in a peaceful society.
Is this real, or did her uncle do this on purpose to get it approved?
"Behave yourself!"
Mingmei was lost in thought when suddenly a dark shadow flashed in front of her. Luckily, she reacted quickly, raising her foot to dodge what was lunging at her legs.
Mingmei looked down and saw a thin man with a pair of animal ears on his head lying in front of her, sliding forward a bit due to inertia.
Mingmei could clearly see the conspicuous footprint on the other person's body.
She turned around following the sound and saw someone she hadn't seen in a long time—Lu Gui.
This was the first time they had met in almost three months since they left school.
What are you doing here?
Just moments ago, Lu Gui had a cold expression on his face, but when he subdued a criminal who was trying to behave himself, he unexpectedly encountered Mingmei.
"Ah...something's wrong, what's wrong...?"
As Mingmei spoke, she looked Lu Gui up and down for a while. When she saw that the uniform he was wearing was similar to that of the person who had brought her and Mu Chen here, Mingmei roughly understood what role Lu Gui played in the game.
"Yeah, that's all. Maintaining order, maintaining law and order." Lu Gui, who had intended to say "maintaining peace," subconsciously dismissed the daily tasks of his character.
Where is the peace here?
"I thought this game would be divided into legions." Mingmei knew that this game was mainly for the new recruits from their two legions to get some experience.
Hmm, I didn't expect this "experience" to be so unique.
They directly become "bad people".
No wonder they don't let veterans play. If they did, it would expose what else they've done besides being soldiers.
No, it won't.
Lu Gui pulled up the prisoner he had just kicked down and handed him over to his colleague. When the NPC saw that Lu Gui was actually going to chat with a woman, a lewd smile instantly appeared on his face. With a "leave it to me" attitude, he took the prisoner away. As he left, he winked at Lu Gui, making Mingmei and Muchen feel extremely embarrassed.
“Lu Xiaoyao also lives here.”
Mingmei could tell that the other person was genuinely embarrassed, so she took the initiative to speak first.
"Really? I'll find a chance to go see her. I wonder if she's made any progress in the three months she's been away from home." Lu Gui smiled, but seemed a little melancholy when he mentioned his younger sister, Lu Xiaoyao.
Mingmei did not want to reply to this.
After all, Lu Xiaoyao's progress is like Schrödinger's progress.
"By the way, what are you doing here?"
Seeing Mingmei's silence, Lu Gui didn't press her for details about Lu Xiaoyao's situation. After all, since they were certain they would meet here sooner or later, Mingmei's presence here didn't seem like she had committed a crime and was being held in custody.
“Ah Chen got involved in some things and came over to give a statement or something. I’ll wait outside.”
"Oh, he got into trouble? He's so incompetent, and he even slipped up?"
Lu Gui understood; it was extremely rare for someone to be brought here and specifically taken inside for questioning.
In the dungeon, those who commit crimes are either caught first or no one knows who the culprit is.
People like Mu Chen who can still be brought in for questioning are extremely rare!
“With his abilities, why would he leave any clues?” Lu Gui stroked his chin, then looked at Mingmei and asked, “What exactly happened to him?”
Mingmei didn't reveal everything, only saying that Mu Chen had gone too far in the underground boxing match and his opponent was gone.
However, Lu Gui was clearly aware of the rules of underground boxing matches; although he didn't say anything, his expression betrayed him.
He naturally didn't believe it.
"That boxer seems to have connections."
