I, holding a long sword in my hand, only know one move

"That's why we need to intervene..." Cheng Rang scratched his head, "Does the police department have no information to share with us?"

"HLPD is full of human beings... You understand this when I say it, right?" Stephen put down the information board, looked at Isabella who looked a little pale, sighed silently in his heart, and said: "The meeting is over, except for List Tisia and Isabella, the rest stay.”

Chapter 24: The means to perfectly integrate into the environment

Leticia understood Stephen's meaning, took Isabella's hand and turned around: "Let's go, today's practice is about to begin."

"You don't need to take care of me like this..."

Isabella was unmoved and took her hand out of Leticia's palm.

"Although I am the youngest member in everyone's eyes and the newcomer here...Although I am used to being protected by others - whether it is my sister, Cheng, senior Leticia, or Lebra Everybody."

"But now I am one of you. I practice hard every day. What I pursue is to face all this with you."

The girl who was helpless because she saw her classmates and friends die in front of her eyes was haunted by nightmares almost every night.

"I admit that I am still afraid..." Isabella's trembling hand was tightly grasped by herself, "But when I am afraid, I will shrink back and subconsciously seek protection from others. I will never be able to face the reality. I will always be scared!"

"I do not like this."

As long as you still want to take a step towards the light...

I don’t want to lose to my weak self anymore, I want to be a strong person, I want to be someone who can protect others.

The human soul has not been declared defeated.

"Please let me join this mission!"

Stephen and Klaus looked a little dazed, as if they were frightened by Isabella's speech.

The atmosphere was a little quiet, even so quiet that it was embarrassing.

Being stared at by everyone motionlessly, Isabella, who was in high spirits at first, gradually calmed down. A blush began to appear on her fair cheeks, and the hands clenched on her chest began to rub without a place to rest. The skirt corners.

"Don't...don't keep staring at people like this..."

"Isabella." Stephen seemed to know something, smiled bitterly and rubbed his temples.

"yes....?"

"I can understand your desire to join this mission, but you obviously misunderstood."

"Misunderstanding...misunderstanding?"

Stephen shook his head and said: "It's not that I put you and Leticia on standby to take care of your mood and status as a newcomer, but you and Leticia can't help with the next task."

"Miss Isabella's strength has been recognized by Klaus and I. She is a member who has joined Lebra after formal application and approval, so please don't worry."

"I will evaluate the strength and situation of the members and then assign tasks. Each member will perform his or her duties. Only by using their abilities where they are good at doing it can they get twice the result with half the effort."

Zabu sighed, turned over the intelligence board that Stephen put on the table, and said helplessly: "So this mission must first collect intelligence... Even the police officers find it difficult to solve the problem."

Dealers, it’s easy to know where they can gather together. "

"Bars, nightclubs, gangs and hangouts for idlers - they are all smoky places, chaotic, disorderly, and full of people from other worlds. If you want to go in and collect information, what kind of young and cute girl is this? I can’t even ask.”

The clearer the explanation, the lower Isabella's head dropped.

I completely misunderstood the meaning. It was not that Stephen did this because he wanted to take care of himself, but that it was inconsistent with the task requirements.

Isabella's lovely cheeks turned red with embarrassment, and she quickly bowed: "Yes, I'm sorry! Mr. Stephen, I wrongly blamed you!"

Leticia, who had long understood this, took Isabella's hand again with a look of helplessness on her face, and pulled her away as she kept apologizing softly.

"Why do these obviously smart kids get into trouble here? Don't cause trouble to them. The amount of practice will be doubled today."

"Yes...Master..."

"Call me senior."

"Yes! Senior Leticia!"

Before going out, Cheng Rang waved goodbye to Isabella with a proud look on his face: "Although I misunderstood the meaning, the speech just now was very handsome! Isabella~"

Isabella's scream of shame and Leticia's dissatisfied snort came from outside the door that was slammed shut.

"I look forward to your heroic appearance when fighting side by side with you——"

"Senior Cheng...you are a little too boring...you will get beaten."

Leo pursed his lips and complained mercilessly to the bright-faced Cheng Rang, and broke into a cold sweat for him.

"Hahaha....."

————————————

Intelligence documents were sent to the intelligence processing center from people from all over. Ellerbella classified and sorted them, printed them out, held them in her arms, and stood up from her seat.

Keep one hand free on the office doorknob and turn it in the opposite direction.

[Certification passed, information compilation team 4, team leader: Miss Alebella Campbell. 】

There was a click sound like a door lock falling, and Ellerbella appeared in the association hall as she pushed the door open.

"Everyone, I got the tip."

"Ai Lebella, you came just in time."

"Mr. Stephen." Ellerbella handed over the information in her hand, "MZERO, DOGEATS DOGS, and Purgatory Detective—according to clues, drug dealers are present in these three stores."

"Thank you for your hard work." Stephen nodded and took the document. After briefly reading it, he said: "The person responsible for the shipment is the lower reaches of the downstream. Although it is extremely difficult to grasp their exact information without alerting the snake, but no matter what, I hope we can take this opportunity to find the source.”

"Keep a low profile. The other party is very wary, especially you two - Cheng and Zabu."

"I've always been very low-key..." Cheng Rang spread his hands with an innocent face, which made Stephen's eyes jump. Before he could say anything, Zabu on the side answered: "I understand, just wrap it up with me!"

The corners of Stephen's mouth began to twitch involuntarily, and he ordered with some worry: "Are you serious? You must know that those drug dealers are people who will run away immediately if the situation goes bad."

"Anyway, you can leave it to me~ Don't you trust me, Master?"

"Well...let's just trust you and take action."

————————————

Current target location: DOGEATSDOGS

Leo, who had been disguised, sat with his legs crossed on the soft leather sofa, his body trembling as if he was enduring some emotion.

So... what this guy Zabu said - it's not credible at all! !

In the bustling bar, sitting next to Leo was Jet, who was also looking helpless. Not far away were Cheng Rang, who was drinking heavily at the bar, and Zabrefro, who was about to start a fight with other customers.

Cheng Rang: "One more drink!"

"Ha——?! Did any of your eyes see me touching you even once?" Zabu was holding a cigarette in his hand, and he was arguing with another tall alien from the same world as usual.

"They really fit into the environment of this store perfectly... They two." Leo sighed for the third time in succession.

After all, all forms of entertainment are prohibited by the association -

"It would be better to say that these two guys used public funds to eat, drink and have fun by sneaking into the platoon mission..."

"You look more confident than anyone else. Did you make a mistake?"

Chapter 25 Flying

Zabu, who was pulled back by Jet, leaned on the sofa with his arms stretched out.

"Hey, Zabu, what did you just do? Why did you make yourself so conspicuous? You almost got into a fight or something..."

At this time, Zabu, who looked like an afro, tilted his head and pushed up the sunglasses on his face and said: "Listen to me, in this store, my behavior is normal, no one will think there is a problem. "

"Even if you say that, you're looking for trouble - integrating here... doesn't mean 'integrating' to let you get along with them!"

Cheng Rang put down his empty glass and stood up from the bar.

If the mission goal is to follow the clues to find the downline who sells Vulcan's horniness, then just blending into the environment will not work.

What is needed more is observation.

The purpose of drug dealers is basically to make money, and such dangerous drugs

There is a high probability that they will not use it themselves.

Drug dealers who are looking for potential customers and are not interested in drinking, because their goals are completely different from the people who come to the bar to have fun, they can easily find the most unsociable people with their five senses.

Cheng Rang's eyes were fixed on a pot-bellied human man. He glanced around in the noisy bar and moved cautiously for fear of being discovered by someone.

Like looking for something.

"Something fishy at this point in time...eh?"

The man he noticed suddenly bumped into a tall alien and was pulled up by his collar. Being disadvantaged by race and body, he could only innocently raise his hands and apologize continuously.

Although his behavior was indeed suspicious, he seemed clumsy and completely absent-minded.

The man who was thrown away by the alien staggered a few times and walked out of the bar with his head hanging down as if he was unsteady.

Cheng Rang stopped following him and shook his head slightly.

Drug dealers would not be like this, otherwise they would have been arrested and interrogated long ago, maybe for other reasons. Cheng Rang stopped paying attention. After all, the humans in this city are all people with stories behind them, otherwise they would not come to this city.

The outside world is more suitable for ordinary humans to live in than in HL.

The investigation tonight came up with nothing, but there is no rush in the task of contacting a detox dealer. It is estimated that it will take at least a week to achieve initial results.

"It's better to take on some (harmony) responsibility..." Cheng Rang scratched his head, feeling that he had to complete this task from beginning to end before heading to the next world.

Click on the mall page. Due to the two legendary main quests completed in the previous world, all functions of the system mall have been unlocked, and all items in it have a permanent 50% discount.

One of them is [extra stay time in the bound world] that can be purchased.

Glancing at the more than 4.2 million gold coins in his backpack, the wealthy Cheng Rang waved his hand and directly renewed for a week.

[Extra stay time in the bound world]

It can only be purchased when returning to the bound world after completing the previous world mission. It can be used to extend the repair and stay time in the bound world. It can be used to activate the training ground or complete the bound world side mission. Each stay is limited to Purchase for 336 hours. The price is 500 gold coins/24 hours.

[Due to the permanent 50% discount on all items in the mall, you only need to spend 1750 gold coins on this purchase. 】

Cheng Rang clicked OK, and the countdown in the lower left corner of the system rose again to 168 hours.

This time I have more time, so I don't have to hurry. Although Cheng Rang is absolutely sure about this kind of task that requires patience, the system will not tell you the truth.

I will take you away on time as soon as the time comes, no matter what you are doing at the time.

Even if you are going to the toilet or taking a shower, if you don't time it right, in another world, you may be seen clearly with foam on your body and no clothes on, and they won't even help you with the mosaic. .

Until then, you'll just have to hope that you still have something wearable in your backpack.

But now...

"Get off work, call it a day - go find your wife!" Cheng Rang tossed the wig and sunglasses on his head, said hello to Leo and the others, then jumped up and disappeared into the night-shrouded buildings.

Now the nine-day stay is long enough for me to find opportunities to explore for a while!

Although there is an exploration mission, this thing has to be urgent. After all, the other party is very cautious... So Cheng Rang's time schedule is - fish, fish, fish... fish, and then spend the last few days doing it. He shouted "Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" while turning the city upside down, arresting drug dealers and destroying dens all at once!

This is a qualified fisherman! (Forcing truth)

Cheng Rang was very satisfied with his perfect timing.

The windows of Leticia's house have come into view. As for why they didn't go through any door, it's still the old saying - it's better to fly in the sky than to walk on the ground.

"Yo - I'm back..."

boom!

"..."

Cheng Rang was about to jump out of the window and was stopped by an invisible barrier. His whole face was slapped firmly on the barrier, making a muffled sound.

The "No Entry" sign hanging outside Leticia's house shook slightly because Cheng Rang bumped into the protective spell wall.

This kind of movement occurred just as the spell-guiding practice with Isabella was coming to an end, causing Leticia's delicate eyebrows to twitch.

"Hey... Master, it seems that something hit my barrier." Isabella maintained a green ball of light floating in her hand, raised her head and said to Leticia in front of her.

"——Don't worry, maybe it's just a flying thing flying from somewhere. Just concentrate." Leticia turned her attention to the book in her hand again. While turning the pages, the curtains behind her were automatically closed with a swipe. .

"....oh."

Isabella nodded obediently and was about to return her attention to the spell circuit when she suddenly blinked and felt something was wrong.
