I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

They immediately gave Yun Yi a calm affirmation, "Great! / It's good to give it to her too."

Two more heavenly remixes echoed in his mind, and Yun Yi, momentarily mesmerized, snapped back to reality.

She then realized that besides her emotions, there was another reason why she hadn't become addicted again.

The two people's distinct voices can only blend together when the sound is short. Once it is long, the brain can easily separate them and turn them into two distinct voices.

Just like the piano and clarinet, the violin and the flute, the guzheng and the bamboo flute, the erhu and the pipa.

As Yun Yi was lost in thought, Hoshiguma suddenly chuckled softly. The sound was particularly gentle as it entered his mind, like the softest feather gently brushing against him, causing a subtle yet undeniably present ripple in Yun Yi's heart.

A little itchy.

Yun Yi thought, but when asked where it itched, she couldn't quite put her finger on it. It seemed to be her stomach, or her ears, or perhaps her whole body was itchy, so itchy that she couldn't calm down at all.

Swire's angry voice came through the doll at that moment, "Still not talking—and you still say you're not bluffing me! Wait, are you overthinking things again? Stop! Stop right there! Since you're contacting people, focus on what you're doing!"

Yun Yi subconsciously looked down at his toes, but couldn't see them. "Sorry, your voices are so beautiful, I got a little lost in them—"

She was almost finished speaking when she realized that Swire wasn't beside her and couldn't see her actions.

Yun Yi helplessly raised his head, wondering what kind of strange subconscious reaction this was.

Despite her inner complaints, she didn't stop saying, "I'm really not kidding you."

"………………" A string of ellipses came from the other end of the communication, followed by Hoshiguma's barely suppressed laughter, and Swire unilaterally cut off the communication.

"Huh?" Yun Yi was stunned. She blinked, and for some reason, a jolt of electricity seemed to run through her heart, and her mind went blank. "...So, puppet communication can be unilaterally disconnected..."

No, isn't this common sense... Yun Yi refuted in his mind in a daze.

On the crossbeam, Hoshiguma, who had roughly guessed the content of Yunyi's conversation with Swire, couldn't suppress her urge to laugh no matter how hard she tried.

Volume 2: Fireworks at Dragon Gate: Chapter 243 (Main Story) Lin Yuxia: ...Really? (Again...again)

After finally managing to laugh enough, Hoshiguma almost couldn't help but laugh again when she thought about Swire probably still breaking down defenses and destroying the house.

She wiped away the tears that had welled up in her eyes with a bold gesture, a warm, playful glint in her eyes that spoke volumes about the close bond between close friends. 'The young lady's ability to attract attention is still as remarkable as ever!'

On the other side, Swire, who was sitting elegantly with a water glass in hand, suddenly blushed crimson without warning. A flicker of shyness and annoyance welled up in her eyes. "Damn it! Idiot, bastard—"

The water in her half-full cup suddenly surged, then gathered into a rapid stream that rushed out through several widening cracks—the cup was cracked by Swire's subconsciously increased pressure and trembling, slender fingers.

Before the cup shattered completely, the elegant Zalak woman sitting opposite her, with her legs crossed, twitched slightly. Her head was rounded, and her ears had a ring of short black fur around them.

She slowly extended her slender, pale fingertips, which appeared glossy and white under the light, and casually touched the creaking, threateningly cracking cup in Swire's hand.

Invisible ripples spread out instantly, and the transparent glass that makes up the cup quickly grew and expanded, filling all the gaps on the cup in the blink of an eye. The shape and style of the entire cup also underwent a dramatic change.

It was transformed from a plain glass into a work of art that would look perfectly natural even at a top auction.

At the same time, its weight was maliciously increased, and the part that came into contact with the fingertips of the Shihuai Yasan Si Ling? Abandoned 2〨 Master 8 Master Yueyi was also secretly replaced by a layer of exceptionally smooth glass.

At that moment, Swire noticed the change in the glass and realized that she had almost unconsciously crushed it, so she subconsciously loosened her grip on the glass.

This sudden change caused the water glass, which was being held loosely, to slip out of Swire's grasp under the influence of gravity and plummet straight onto the table.

Swire quickly realized what was happening. Instead of reaching out to fix it, she looked up and glared angrily at the guy sitting opposite her.

The Zalak woman's lips curled into a subtle yet undisguised smile, her long, slender tail rising behind her and swaying conspicuously and defiantly. "What?"

"You bastard too! You wretched rat, do you get really happy just watching me joke around?" Swire glared fiercely at the annoying guy in front of her, her green eyes, narrowed to pinpoints, revealing the deadly chill of a feline before a hunt.

At the same time, the water glass that was about to hit the table was nimbly caught by the thick tiger tail. The tiger stripes formed by the two colors of the tail stretched and tightened with the movement of the tail, dynamically demonstrating the flexibility of the tiger tail.

Swire angrily flicked its tail and slammed the drastically altered water glass into the empty space on the table next to the table, a space deliberately left blank for aesthetic purposes in the display case where ornaments were placed for guests and the host to admire.

Despite being angrily called a "stinking rat" and subjected to a dangerous gaze, Zalak remained calm and composed, saying, "Why ask such a self-evident question—"

"A poetic and elegant police officer with a face veiled in rosy clouds?" She withdrew her hand, flicked her fingertips gracefully, and the rat tail behind her swayed gently and drooped naturally.

As she looked up, she saw Swire's violet eyes and matching hair swaying under the light, appearing both pink and purplish-red, gentle yet mysterious.

Seeing that Swire was inexplicably irritable and no longer as calm as before, Zalak, dressed in black and purple, put down his fingers and his raised leg at the same time. He stood up without hesitation, crossed his arms, and looked down at Swire, who was now even angrier with her tiger tail lowered.

"Hmph, bastard? Compared to you, I'm nothing." She snorted coldly, looking down at him, and directly steered the topic back on track. "How did you even come up with the idea of ​​inviting me to leave Lungmen? When did you become so outrageous?"

The police invited members of an underground syndicate to a foreign country to build an independent city comparable to, or even potentially larger than, Lungmen.

Ha, how could this guy even say that? Regardless of whether it's true or not, a policeman went deep into the gang and caused a huge commotion to lure her out just for this?

absurd!

A glint flashed in Zalak's eyes, and the way he lightly tapped his arm with his fingertips revealed a barely perceptible sense of impatience born from self-deception.

Her gaze toward Swire grew increasingly intense, and the tense atmosphere that had just been broken by Swire's inexplicable blushing quietly returned.

The renewed atmosphere of negotiation calmed Swire slightly. She quickly packed away her wavering feelings for Yunyi and the blush on her face gradually faded.

She did not get up with Zalak, but simply stated what she considered an established fact, "Lin Yuxia, I am no longer a member of the Guard Bureau."

"...?" The composed smile that seemed to be welded to Lin Yuxia's delicate face shattered completely in that instant, like tempered glass being smashed against a corner by a sledgehammer.

Her eyes trembled, and her heart felt as if it had suddenly emptied from the clouds. Was he really going to abandon her and leave Longmen? Once again, just once more?

Lin Yuxia desperately wanted to remain silent at this moment. She would rather believe that she had misheard, or that she was having a nightmare-like hallucination because of the past, than believe that these words were spoken by Swire in such a resolute tone.

But her inherent pride and clear-headed will prevented her from deceiving herself like this—yet deep down, the feelings that had taken root since childhood were even more unacceptable to her!

They should have been the closest of friends. It was one thing that they could no longer go back to the past because of their identities, but now, even this tiny connection has to be completely severed?

While struggling with her inner turmoil, Lin Yuxia quietly clenched her hands. What came to her lips was clearly a question, but the volume and tone of her voice were like a soft whisper, "Swire, what...did you say?"

The question, a slight tremor at the end, neither clear as a accusation nor a helpless protest, a question that was already known to be asked, echoed in the exquisite reception room where everyone else had been dismissed and only the two of them remained, breaking the stagnant atmosphere of the negotiation.

Swire, who noticed her friend's unusual mood in a second, was slightly taken aback.

A moment later, she pursed her lips, her resolve unwavering, and decisively stated her choice again: to leave the Guard Bureau and go to a foreign country.

When Swire spoke, he was certain that he would pursue and realize his vision.

Those clear, beautiful green eyes sparkled with longing and determination—just like when she "betrayed" their promise and resolutely went to study in Victoria, filled with self-assurance.

No one can stop Swire, for she is never weak, incompetent, or hesitant. Anyone who tries to hinder her from reaching her ideals will be overcome by her.

Important Notice:

There is no wing knotting scene in this story. All the female protagonists' feelings for everyone except Yun Yi, no matter how deep, will only be friendship and family affection.

Furthermore, to avoid controversy and negative perceptions (and also due to the author's own personal reasons), this article will not describe the love stories of anyone other than the main character and the female lead, except for officially confirmed couples and lovers.

I accidentally saw a video of Paradise in the afterlife... The author felt like his heart died and came back to life, came back to life and died again, but was filled with the spiritual power to witness and change tomorrow. It was so painful.

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 244 (Main Story) Yun Yi: This big thing is quite unique, hmm, good, saves trouble.

Even family members, even... friends.

Lin Yuxia stood gracefully by the table, looking down at the other person.

But Swire's bright eyes and calm, resolute expression made her feel, in a daze, that she was the one being looked down upon.

Just as Swire uttered a sentence that struck Lin Yuxia's weak point, Yun Yi silently calmed his somewhat chaotic and excited emotions.

Yun Yi patted her warm cheeks with both hands, ignoring her wildly beating heart, and turned to look at the only remaining strip of brilliant light on her wrist. She sent a voice message to Hoshiguma, who was inexplicably silent with her, "Little Hoshiguma?"

"I'm here." Hoshiguma replied instantly, indicating that the other party was not "idling" but was considerately giving her time to adjust.

Yunyi noticed this and felt a warmth in her heart. Out of a sense of gratitude, she took the initiative to advance the task that Hoshiguma was concerned about, "How is the auction going now?"

While asking questions, Yun Yi waved his hand and retrieved and organized the background information that the AI ​​had scanned during this period.

Personnel, structure, hiding places...

Before Yun Yi could finish reading, the light belt brought a voice from the other end, "The final auction item is in progress." Hoshiguma casually mentioned the auction item without going into details, focusing instead on the auctioneer and boss, Feldia, "Just now, Gu Yanqiu—that auctioneer—glanced at the terminal during the transition and suddenly sped up the auction. At the same time, the organizers began to increase the number of people in the venue, which is now double the original number."

A thought flashed through Yun Yi's mind instantly, and he blurted out, "Someone is trying to sabotage the auction?"

“Perhaps.” Hoshiguma did not give Yun Yi a clear answer, but added some details, “The new personnel have very low synergy with the original personnel, which directly divided the venue into two areas, clearly separating them.”

“In addition, a group of people—about a third of the new recruits—are intentionally surrounding Gu Yanqiu, and one of them is already quite close to him,” she slowly told Yun Yi, but her tone was crisp at the end, “I think the time has come to enter the fray.”

"Huh? Really?" Yun Yiguang listened but couldn't discern which of the current situations indicated a suitable opportunity, so he could only nod trustingly. "I understand. I'll take the Nirvana and gather all the clues as soon as possible."

Hoshiguma fell silent upon hearing this, and the color and thickness of the light band began to change subtly, clearly indicating that the person on the other end was moving rapidly and frequently.

Yun Yi raised his arm to observe and sense for a while, and confirmed through the light band that Hoshiguma was moving freely and was physically and mentally unharmed. Only then did he bring his mind back to reality, speak and act simultaneously, and continue to look at the backend information in his hand.

Thanks to the improvement in his mental attributes, Yun Yi's memory and reading speed far surpassed those of his previous life, and he quickly finished reading through a stack of intelligence reports.

Yun Yi raised his hand to scatter the papers containing the intelligence, then rested his chin on his hand, looking thoughtful.

Thanks to the Nirvana's highly efficient AI, this intelligence not only included information from the backend but also information from three secret bases that were subtly connected to the backend.

Compared to the backstage areas, which are sparsely populated with organizers and participants in the fighting competition, these bases contain a considerable amount of intelligence, which is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise.

Having found his target, Yunyi decisively piloted the Nirvana to switch maps and followed the hidden passage to the base located on the left at top speed.

There was a sizable, luxurious office where a portly man with horns growing from the side of his head and a head full of bumps was fast asleep on a desk that was several people wide.

The culprit, Yun Yi, emerged from the Nirvana Ship.

She openly rummaged through the office, looking left and right.

Forced to share a room with her, Feng Ti, who was lying on the table, trembled uncontrollably in her sweet "sleep" when she suddenly woke up with a start, "!"

With a loud "thud and crack," the chair beneath Feng Ti's buttocks shattered into pieces and scattered across the floor. He himself, looking terrified, quickly retreated, his body pressed against the wall in the blink of an eye. "You...you...you..."

Feng Ti's teeth chattered, his head was in a knot, and his whole body was filled with panic and fear.

Even though Yun Yi ignored him and was busy searching for something in the office, he couldn't calm down; in fact, he became increasingly terrified.

As a member of the gang, and even a high-ranking cadre who had witnessed the cruelty of the situation firsthand, Feng Ti didn't think it was a good thing to be ignored by a powerful figure who had quietly sneaked in.

Only useful people have the right to live, while useless people will likely perish when the strong who do not want to be exposed are about to leave.

As for Fengti himself, he didn't want to die without knowing why, and he didn't want to stand here passively gambling on the other party's low probability of being merciful.

As Yun Yi focused on searching for clues and information, the oppressive aura surrounding him was not specifically directed at Feng Ti, giving him some breathing room and time to think.

Dying a pathetic death is completely different from dying a worthy death; one cannot passively wait...

As Yun Yi, holding a document, turned to go to the next filing cabinet, Feng Ti took a deep breath as if making a firm decision, trembling as she deliberately attracted the attention of the terrifying figure before her. "Please, please, what do you need? I can help you!"

After saying those words, Feng Ti felt much more relaxed. He almost collapsed to his knees between the tension and relaxation. He leaned against the wall, touched his still-present neck, and breathed a sigh of relief. He had made the right bet!

Yun Yi's gaze, which had been focused solely on the target, shifted to him after Feng Ti spoke.

Those golden-red eyes, as bright as the blazing sun, were indifferent, devoid of any emotion, as if he were someone who didn't even register in her sight, or like the empty space of a deity detached from the mortal world.

Suddenly hearing someone speak, Yun Yi glanced at the passerby who had spoken—Hmm? This seems to be the owner of this office?

Recalling Feng Ti's identity, Yun Yi nodded decisively, "Okay, give me all the core intelligence here, all the valid evidence and materials that can convict your gang members, as well as the criminal evidence and materials of other people in your possession."

Yun Yi spoke at a moderate pace, and Feng Ti, enveloped by the oppressive aura, managed to memorize the long string of requirements with all his might, and, showing a strong will to survive, didn't ask any questions.

He pressed down on his trembling legs, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, yes, okay!"

As for whether I can do it or not—I'll agree first if I'm about to die!

Besides, while he might not be able to provide "all" of these things, he could at least provide some. Giving it his all and trying is always better than facing this person directly.

Feng Ti was unaware that Yun Yi was neither bloodthirsty nor hiding his own needs as he was about to leave, and was instead immersed in his past experiences.

With a do-or-die mentality, he agreed without hesitation after Yun Yi added the requirement that "she must see something within thirty minutes"—but under Yun Yi's terrifying gaze, his courage to try to bargain vanished completely.

Yun Yi narrowed his eyes, a glint of light flashing in them as he looked at Feng Ti. He had promised, so he had to keep his word. If he couldn't, then he shouldn't go to prison. Instead, he should work for three rounds under the hands of the victims he had hurt.

Feng Ti shivered inexplicably. He glanced suspiciously at Yun Yi, who had turned back to continue examining the filing cabinet, then, in front of Yun Yi, he sheepishly withdrew his gaze, took out his terminal, and began his journey of seeking (and dying).

Volume 2: Fireworks at Lungmen: Chapter 245 (Main Story) Yun Yi: The More Guides, the Better / Hoshiguma: Strange Chaos

Feng Ti's movements were small and shouldn't have made much noise, but his flashy clothes—those shiny iron plates and gold and silver chains—moved along with Feng Ti, colliding with each other to produce a continuous sound that wasn't unpleasant but was still somewhat noisy.

Upon hearing the sound, Yun Yi turned to look at him, but his gaze was immediately drawn to the terminal in Feng Ti's hand.

She wasn't worried about the other side sending reinforcements. Unless they were beings with a life level of 4 or higher, no matter how many came, they would be as fragile as paper in front of her.
