Chapter 48 A formidable foe has arrived.
Leng Xuan flipped down from the rooftop and came to Li Jie's side. He looked Li Jie up and down with a strange look and said in a low voice.
"Let's go. I just notified the captain. Professionals will come to clean this up."
Li Jie found Leng Xuan's strange look somewhat amusing. He pointed to the sniper rifle that the latter hadn't yet put away and replied.
"Put the gun away."
"The captain asked me to buy groceries. Since you're here, let's go together."
..........
On the other side, Lin Qiye also successfully dealt with the remaining 'Mad Scorpion' mercenaries, only because of Li Jie's presence.
The forces on this side were clearly somewhat weak. After he took out the last sniper, he looked around with some confusion.
Is that all? It feels like a joke...
Do the members of the 'Ancient God Church' all lack brains?
He walked toward the firm while thinking about it.
As soon as he entered the room, he sensed the strange atmosphere inside.
Captain Chen and Wu Xiangnan are both taciturn, so it's fine if they don't speak.
Even Lao Zhao and Hongying, who are usually very talkative, kept their mouths shut and were tidying up the house with tense bodies.
The only person in the room was Li Jie, who was sitting calmly on the sofa, peeling beans, just as before.
Lin Qiye sat down next to him, pointed to the group of people who seemed a little off, and asked in a low voice.
"Brother Li, something seems off. Did something happen?"
Li Jie didn't stop his work. He looked up at the team members, who were in all sorts of different positions, and calmly began to speak.
"It should be...nothing serious, right..."
"......"
When Lin Qiye learned from Zhao Kongcheng that Li Jie had killed an enemy at the peak of the 'Chuan' realm with a single sword strike, he kept looking at the latter with a strange expression.
However, as the teammate who had the most contact with him, Lin Qiye simply thought about it and then felt relieved, after all, too many outrageous things had happened to Brother Li.
Compared to cutting down missiles, he felt that Li Jie, who had annihilated the 'Chuan' realm, was more like a normal person...
..........
Night had fallen, and the sound of firecrackers echoed through the streets.
A sign indicating that the Peace Office is closed has been hung at the entrance.
The members of Squad 136 sat around a table laden with various dishes.
It took them a whole afternoon to prepare this meal after they came back.
After washing his hands, Chen Muyi carried the last dish out of the kitchen and sat down at the head of the table.
He opened a can of beer, poured himself a full glass, and his gaze swept over the people around the table, his eyes filled with relief, satisfaction, and a hint of admiration.
"A lot has happened this year, including the injection of fresh blood and life-or-death crises that required risking one's life."
Thankfully, we are all still alive, and we have once again protected this city for a whole year.
He picked up his wine glass, stood up, and said with slightly red eyes.
"I hope that this time next year, we can still sit together, drink and eat."
Not one is missing..."
After saying that, he tilted his head back and drank the beer in the mug in one gulp.
The people gathered around the table stood up and emptied their glasses.
Li Jie, standing at the end of the line, had his head down, seemingly lost in thought.
.........
The fireworks in the night sky were dazzling and magnificent.
The sound of firecrackers lasted all night.
As dawn broke, Lin Qiye, still feeling a bit of a headache, pushed open the door of the Peace Agency from the shop.
Last night, Li Jie only drank two bottles of beer before falling into a deep sleep.
According to Lao Zhao, they finally found the weakness of Li Jie.
He recalled the 'battle' of last night; Old Zhao and Hongying, those two clowns, were simply drunken lunatics.
The two of them probably bought 80% of the beer, and didn't fall asleep until 4 a.m.
Chen Muye watched them with a smile in his eyes all night. Si Xiaonan and Wen Qimo, like Li Jie, were both drunk and had drunk three or four bottles.
As for Deputy Captain Wu, after finishing his meal, he sat alone by the window, drinking by himself.
Everyone tacitly refrained from disturbing him.
The icy wind instantly invigorated him.
As he was about to clear the snow from the doorway, the thick smoke rising in the distance caught his eye.
That direction.......
Just then, Li Jie came out of the store carrying a black box and came to his side.
"Let's go."
Lin Qiye took the Star Blade from Li Jie and understood his meaning. After so much training, the two had developed a tacit understanding that didn't need to be said.
He looked intently at the plume of black smoke.
As expected...
That's right, the direction from which the black smoke was coming from was the love hotel where Baili Pangpang and his friends were temporarily staying.
He turned his head to look at Li Jie, who showed no signs of anything amiss, and a sense of doubt arose in his heart.
Is Li Jie capable of drinking alcohol?
In fact, Li Jie himself didn't know how much he could drink, but two bottles were definitely not his true capacity. He wasn't deliberately avoiding alcohol, but rather he was afraid of being attacked by enemies at night.
After all, things are still uncertain, and there are still powerful figures from the 'Sea' realm hiding in the city. He needs to stay alert at all times.
The two looked at each other, nodded, and ran together toward the direction from which the black smoke was rising.
Inside the office, everyone who was 'completely drunk' stood up and, watching the two boys' figures recede into the distance, tacitly put on their cloaks.
Chen Muye touched the two straight swords at his waist, took a deep breath, and said calmly.
"Let's go, it's time to get to work!"
..........
The exterior of the love hotel on the other side.
Three disheveled figures jumped out of the window.
"Hiccup... Hey, couldn't you guys wait for me...?"
Still wearing his tattered bathrobe, Baili Pangpang let out a long hiccup and spoke to the two of them with a flushed face.
"Who told you to drink so much yesterday? You were still drinking heavily after the card game was over, showing off your skills!"
Shen Qingzhu snapped her fingers and said loudly with dissatisfaction.
Baili Pangpang scratched his head sheepishly.
"We're happy, aren't we? Besides, we don't even need to lift a finger to catch these few worthless fish and shrimp!"
As soon as he finished speaking, four figures shot into the sky from the hotel's perimeter, rushing towards the direction from which the fireball was coming.
.......
As Li Jie and his companion raced through the city, they gradually realized something was amiss. The sound of firecrackers that had been ringing in their ears gradually faded and then disappeared completely within just a few blocks.
The streets around them were now unusually quiet...
Although it's a holiday, it's getting late, so there should be some foot traffic by now.
And what filled them was an aura of death!
Seeing this, Lin Qiye also activated the [Mortal Divine Realm]. The golden light in his eyes grew even brighter as he carefully explored the interior of this strange street.
A moment later, as if he had discovered something, Lin Qiye walked to the dilapidated wall and stroked the moss-covered wall.
Then, a strange snake eye appeared before my eyes.
"This feeling... is it the Forbidden Ruins?"
He stroked the snake's eye, which resembled a charcoal drawing, and the strange aura made him frown slightly.
Just then, a satisfied groan came from a side alley.
"Ah~~ How can you touch my eyes like that? If you do this, I might fall in love with you~"
Immediately afterwards, a figure exuding a strange and flamboyant aura emerged from the alley.
"Respected agents of the two gods, shall we embrace the elder sister?"
Come and be my slave~ Submit at my feet~
Such a handsome young man, just thinking about it makes me excited!
Lin Qiye looked at the alluring woman who emerged from the alley with a strange expression, then at Li Jie beside him, whose expression remained calm.
It's as if they're saying, "Is this woman a pervert?"
