Asura of Tomorrow's Ark

Renn almost wanted to go out and avoid the limelight for a while.

With Li Ang's help, Renne also chose to retire from the dangerous knightly competition and change to a safer job.

He is now the instructor of the Blood Blade Knights, responsible for training the new recruits of the Knights. With his strength close to that of the senior knights, it is more than enough to train those rookies.

A complicated expression flashed across Professor Valk's face, and then he sighed heavily, "Well, actually, I'm also worried about that tentacle boy."

"If Li Ang were not here, if he went crazy, the entire Great Knights would suffer. You don't know how scary it would be for that kid to go crazy."

Although he didn't remember it particularly vividly, the memory of Sagazaki City vaguely remained in Professor Valk's mind. He knew very well how terrifying that seemingly harmless little boy was.

Of course, Professor Valk would not have thought that there were creatures like "Hai Hei" in the world. He only thought that Sui Yue had mastered a particularly evil Origin Stone technique.

Although Shuiyue personally promised him that he would not do that kind of thing again, Professor Valk would not believe him just because of a mere promise. Leon's disappearance made him extremely uneasy.

As for Nian and Xi, Professor Valk did not regard them as combatants at all.

This reason sounds much more reliable.

"What a tentacle boy, please call people by their names, Dad." Sarah snorted with some dissatisfaction.

Having never experienced what happened in Sagazaki, no matter how much Professor Valk emphasized the danger of Suigetsu to her, Sarah still had no real sense of it.

On the contrary, Suiyue's hard work and cheerfulness left a good impression on Sarah. If his identity as a heir was not considered, Suiyue could indeed talk to anyone.

"That kid seems to have something to do today. He went out early."

Sarah said, "So Dad, you can feel at ease now, right?"

Professor Valk wanted to say something more, but Sarah glared at him.

The professor could only scratch his head and swallowed back a few words.

After Sarah mercilessly suppressed her father, the living room finally became quiet. The only sounds that echoed in everyone's ears were the indispensable chirping of cicadas in summer and the sound of Ren's flipping newspapers.

Turning over a page of the newspaper in his hand, Ren's eyes were immediately attracted by a piece of news on it.

"Ok?"

With a subconscious hum, Renn picked up the newspaper and said under the gaze of others, "I seem to know where Li Ang and the others have gone."

"The newspaper said that there were several large-scale explosions in Lot Zero yesterday, with dozens of casualties, and many prisoners were arrested. They may have gone to deal with the matter."

"let me see."

Professor Valk walked quickly to Renn, and Renn respectfully handed over the newspaper in his hand.

After reading the entire news item at a glance, Professor Valk's brows knitted together.

"Those infected..."

With decades of life experience, Professor Valk also knows that the news published in newspapers is often far from the truth.

But only one thing is certain, something big did happen at Lot Zero.

Professor Valk does not discriminate against infected people. Before the twin queens issued that decree, Letania's attitude towards infected people was already quite friendly, but some infected people...the things they did were really difficult. Make people look up to them.

A bad life distorts the character of the infected, prompting them to do bad things.

The more bad things they do, the more hostile ordinary people will be to them, and the few goodwill will be exhausted by the infected people's evil deeds, making the lives of the infected people even worse.

This is an intractable vicious cycle.

Professor Valk actually does not support what they are doing at Plot Zero. How can they possibly save so many infected people in the world?As long as you can take care of yourself and your loved ones, that's enough in Professor Valk's opinion.

However, Professor Valk has been hiding these thoughts in his heart, hesitating whether to persuade them or not.

Why do so many accidents happen every time autumn comes?

Last year, Adele was wanted by the tower and was led by Li to flee from Leitania in a hurry.

What will happen this year?

But before he could say anything, trouble had already come to his door.

After thinking for a moment, Professor Valk suddenly said, "Sarah, are there any pen and paper here?"

"Yes, but dad, what do you want it for?"

"I plan to... contact some old friends."

At the same time, in an apartment on Lot 19.

"Then, the Li Detective Agency will officially open from today!"

Chapter 31

"Oh!!!"

As Li Ang pulled off the layer of red cloth hanging on the door, a burst of warm cheers suddenly broke out around him.

Adele was startled and looked to the side subconsciously.

But Shuiyue was the only one beside her, clapping happily, and she didn't know where the cheers came from.

Looking at the door plate with the words 'Li's Detective Agency' printed on it, Li Ang said with a hint of regret, "Unfortunately, it's a bit strange to open an office in a place like this."

But forget it.

Anyway, it's just for disguise, a little appearance is enough. Li Ang doesn't really want to open a detective agency.

"Speaking of which, are the neighbors okay?"

Adele said a little worriedly, "Suddenly there is a detective agency next door. They should be surprised, right?"

Celebrating with such a big fanfare will definitely be noticed by the surrounding residents, right?Won't they just reveal their secrets then?

"Well, there's no need to worry about this. Xinteleia has actually bought this floor, but she's using different identities. She's given all the keys to me, you see."

As he spoke, Li Ang took out a large number of keys of the same model from his pocket, making a clanging sound in mid-air.

Adele was stunned for a moment, and then said with some emotion, "Miss Xintrea is really rich..."

Even though this is plot No. 19, which is far away from the prime location of the Great Knight Territory, the housing prices here are not much cheaper than those areas.

She directly bought an entire floor of a high-end apartment. She didn't expect that anyone would do this.

"Of course, but it doesn't mean anything to her. She seems to have a Sammy country house."

After all, Xinteleia was once the second-in-command of the Wushu Alliance. She had done such a big task as murdering the director of the Federation more than once, so she naturally had no shortage of money.

What she lacks is the sense of security that would allow her to spend the money.

"Actually, there were some tenants here before, but after the natural disaster, Xintrea cleared out all those tenants one after another."

Xinteleia no longer had to disguise her identity, so this safe house was basically useless. She found it troublesome and simply kicked out all the tenants here. Otherwise, she would still have a lot of troubles. There is no shortage of money.

While explaining, Li Ang opened the door and waved to the two of them, "Come in."

After getting Li Ang's consent, Shui Yue couldn't wait to enter the house and looked at everything in the room curiously.

Early this morning, Shui Yue received a message from Li Ang, saying that he needed help with something.

Shuiyue agreed without much hesitation.

Although he had only stayed in the Great Knight's Territory for half a month, the overly comfortable environment made Shuiyue feel like he was going moldy.

Shuiyue clearly hoped that he could live a peaceful life during the wandering days, but when he really lived a life of a rice insect with no worries about food and clothing, Shuiyue missed the past when he was wandering around. Stimulate.

Humans are such contradictory creatures...

So when Li Ang asked him for help, Shui Yue rushed over directly.

After looking at the interior layout, Shuiyue praised, "It looks pretty decent."

Yesterday, when Li Ang and Adele came here, they spent some time rearranging the furnishings here.

The decoration of the house is the most traditional Victorian style, with a layer of red imitation brick wallpaper on the walls, and the floor is made of the most common redwood. You can vaguely smell the unique aroma of redwood.

Facing the door is a large desk.

There were several thick books piled on the corner of the table, and several manuscript papers covered with scrawled writings were carelessly thrown on the table. Shuiyue even saw a silver dinner plate containing a few pieces of food residue.

The wooden pendulum clock half a man tall was clicking and turning, and the bookshelf beside it was filled with all kinds of obscure-looking books.

No matter who enters this room, the same thought will occur in their mind. This is indeed what a detective's office should look like.

"Actually, it's not that interesting," Li Ang said with a hint of regret, "A real detective agency should be located on the second or third floor, but we are now on the ninth floor, which is a bit too high."

"Why?" Adele felt a little strange, "Why should the office be placed on the second floor? Is there any other explanation for this?"

"Maybe it's because that's how it's written in novels, right?"

Shuiyue thought for a while and guessed, "In the few detective novels I have read, the protagonist's office is basically on the second floor."

"Part of it is due to the limitations of the times."

Seeing that both of them seemed interested in this, Li Ang expressed his understanding.

"If I remember correctly, detective stories first became popular 200 years ago. At that time, the technology of mobile cities was not yet mature and the carrying capacity was limited. The cities were mainly two- to three-story buildings. Later authors were writing detective stories. When I was working on it, I would often refer to the works of my predecessors, and this setting was gradually adopted.”

After hearing Li Ang's explanation, both of them looked thoughtful.

But the next second, Li Ang suddenly changed the subject and said, "However, what I just said is secondary."

"The reason why the detective set up his office on the second floor is of course...the second floor is very convenient for escaping."

Li Ang said in a matter-of-fact tone, "Look, the second floor has a certain height advantage. You can see the visitors in the distance. The height is not too high. You can escape directly by climbing out the window. The third floor is slightly higher." It’s a bit too big, but it’s barely usable.”

"And we are on the ninth floor now...if the elevator and stairs are blocked, there will be no place to escape."

Hearing this, Adele suddenly showed a subtle expression. The answer given by Li Ang was far from what she thought.

"So, is detective such a dangerous profession?"

"Of course it's dangerous... What the detectives are dealing with are criminals," Li Ang shrugged. "If you're not prepared to run away, it won't take long for the body to get cold."

A detective doesn't need to be very good at fighting, but he must be able to run. This is a hard lesson he has learned from nearly a hundred team running experiences.

Detectives who cannot run away and who set up their offices above the second floor will be torn apart in a short time.

After taking Shui Yue to sit down on the sofa used to receive guests, Li Ang said to him seriously.

"Well, Assistant No. 2, I have a very important task for you."

"Yeah." Shuiyue nodded, eyes flashing with anticipation.

"I need your help...to attack this man."

"……Eh?"

Chapter 32

With that said, Li Ang picked up the information he prepared yesterday from the desk next to him and put it in Shui Yue's hands.

Subconsciously taking the information, Shuiyue couldn't help but scratch his ears. At that moment, he thought he heard it wrong.

"You mean...to attack this lawyer?"

Pulling out the documents in the portfolio and looking at them for a few times, Shuiyue pointed to the photo above and said, "Dest... graduated from the Law School of West China University and now works at Chang Rein Law Firm. She is the youngest person in the law firm. The golden lawyer..."

From Shuiyue's point of view, this file was already terrifyingly detailed.

It includes personal numbers, work experience, family situation and almost all imaginable personal information. It even records clearly how many awards the lawyer has received since childhood.

The Great Knight Territory... is really a scary place.

I don't know what others think, but Shuiyue cannot accept her personal information being exposed to others.

Shuiyue clicked her tongue and said, "This is really miserable, okay... I agreed, when do you need me to take action?"

Although he was called over to do the dirty work, Suiyue didn't resist much in his heart. He just felt a little sympathy for Kuranta's misfortune.

Let's just regard it as the reward for living and eating for free during this period of time.

"That Suigetsu, you may have made some mistake. We didn't ask you to kill Miss Desire..."

Seeing that Shuiyue seemed to have subtly misunderstood something, Adele quickly explained.

"Huh?? Didn't you tell me to attack her?" Shuiyue had a lot of confusion written on her face.

"...I didn't explain it clearly."
