How Am I Still Alive?

Chapter 38: storm and settlement

"Captain, there is news of the Sophists again."

As soon as the fast man came in, he broke the news.

Hearing this, Xia Qin was still quietly sorting out the notes on the table, but she was very calm.

"How many times is this?"

"Sixth time. This time in the city center, there were two witnesses who witnessed him speaking storytelling in the square, and our man made a fake robbery accident, disrupting the crowd he was focusing on. Now there is a 2 team The person who followed, I have advised him to keep a sufficient distance, safety first, even if he loses."

"Well done. He appears more and more often... Let's not bite the bait until reinforcements arrive."

Lu Ping'an had already guessed some things, how could these professional keepers not guess.

They exchanged and sorted out the information in their hands, but they lost interest in the more and more frequent sophists.

A cultist of at least Tier 4 is indeed quite troublesome, but it is not difficult to get rid of him by dispatching in the city.

The problem is that most of them are behind him.

"Has it been determined that he has taken refuge in the Church of Life of the Mother God?"

"Yes, it's confirmed. There are also witness reports. He was not alone when he entered the city."

In case the evil **** ceremony like the previous one happens again... If Lu Ping hadn't stopped everything in time, Chris would drag all the millions of people in the city into that deadly ceremony.

At the moment when it really hits the ground, only a concentrated strike of thunder can kill it.

At this time of mutual patience, the most dangerous thing is the police and the official keepers who encounter the "bait".

Lame and impatient anglers often try to provoke schools of fish with baited hooks when the fish are slow to bite.

Fortunately, it has only been a few days since the last **** case, and the sophists have not committed the crime again.

But how long he can be quiet is a doubt.

The keeper only hoped that he would not be too active as a bait, making it difficult for everyone to do it.

".... The mother god's story has informed several churches of the gods of life, and they will send several priest-level reinforcements, the most important of which is a sixth-order bishop of the Church of the Girl in the Forest. . He will come with his guards."

"it is good."

This is undoubtedly good news, but Xia Qin also knows that those high-level professionals of the church, who usually have eyes above the top, who come to help, are definitely not the cities that are under threat.

"...The Mother Goddess, and Kirdales, oh, they are quite direct..."

Thinking of the last quasi-god incident, the expressions of the secret keepers present were ugly.

Due to the accident, the third special team was disabled and could not be replenished. There are still only three people.

The tasks are several times more than before, so naturally, they are very busy.

"By the way, how is Lu Ping An? You should have met him, is he emotionally stable? After all, he has caused himself a big problem, and the college entrance examination is only two days away..."

Hearing this, Thunder Fire Blade's expression became more subtle.

"He's super happy, it's like he just came back from the playground, no, it's more powerful, it feels like he's getting high..."

Xia Qin touched her forehead, feeling a little weak.

"It's only been a few days, I hope he doesn't cause me any more trouble, you don't know how badly I got sprayed on it, 'You just supervise it like this! A female orangutan is more useful than you!'. Okay, I want They changed the supervisor, they stopped talking, they only dared to spray me."

Captain Xia, who is usually resolute and sassy, ​​began to think about it, complaining about his unpopular boss, and rubbing his stomach.

At this age, I have habitual stomach pain, which is indeed a bit miserable.

"They didn't say that the case of the 'Sophists' was also on my head, as well as the daily patrol. I haven't had a good night's sleep at home for a week..."

It seems that she, who has only recently assumed office, is under a lot of pressure.

"...Strange, aren't you here to complain? Before laughing at me, I swore that I would make trouble so soon, and I had to run around and sell favors to help that **** put an end to the end."

But Lei Huo Ren shook his head calmly.

"No, I've changed my mind. You're doing the right thing. He's still quite dangerous, but I've seen from the first time that he still has empathy, which is different from the Sophists."

In fact, Lei Huo Ren lied, and he felt that Lu Ping'an was more dangerous than he expected, and more difficult to grasp than a sophist.

Beneath those seemingly peaceful and smiling cheeks was a reckless heart... He could see that that young man had no bottom line at all.

But compared to a real lunatic, his usual gentleness and patience, and the reality that a broken gear is running steadily in the social machine makes him, an insider, even more uneasy.

But at this time, Xia Qin heaved a sigh of relief when he heard Lei Huo Ren agree with him.

In fact, this time, she was under a lot of pressure.

If the only two members of the team put pressure on him again, he may not be able to bear the domestic and international difficulties.

"...Moreover, he is rank 1, and it has only been ten days in total. Ten days ago, he was just an ordinary person. At least five days ago, he was still a rank 0."

This is the source of Lei Huo Ren's change of mind. Lu Ping'an has grown so fast that others cannot understand it.

But thinking of the weird "dividing" ability, he thought it was acceptable.

Lei Huo Ren didn't know what the "investment" cost for road safety, but since the effect is so good and the income is so high, it must be a heavy burden.

"As long as he keeps 'investing share', he will soon grow up. Maybe half a year later, he will become an instant combat force."

In this increasingly chaotic era, what you need most as a law enforcer is always strength.

Unsupported words and laws are meaningless when the wicked act recklessly.

Here comes a sophist and the cult boss who may exist behind him, all of them have to ask other churches and organizations for help, which actually shows the extreme lack of their own strength.

He still remembers the response from the report, the reality is so helpless...

"What? You said that there might be an event involving a heretic **** of Tier 6 or above? You also said that there is a cult of about Tier 4 haunting you... But in the cities around you, there are really Tier 6 and above. The incident happened, and all the staff were dispatched there. I have no one here. Or, I am a retired old man who will come to help you with the logistics? Relieve the pressure? "

The more and more frequent pollution incidents have made "lack of people" the norm. It's just "possible", and reinforcements cannot be called.

The daily work of the keepers has gradually shifted from the traditional "prevention" to the more dangerous and frequent "post-incident remedy".

The mechanism has begun to reform, but it seems that it can't keep up.

There is a shortage of people everywhere. This is a cruel fact, and it is a disturbing signal.

And when the official power of control is really questioned, the social order will naturally gradually collapse... In fact, many churches, companies, and social organizations have long since gone their own way and have become secret realms-centered. independent kingdom.

They don't have to bear the cost of social governance like a bottomless pit, they only need to bear the part of their "inland", and they can turn the resources of the secret realm into a growth force, which is more prosperous than a few decades ago.

When no one can count on them, the official keepers with protection as the core can only rely on the power they can catch.

"Yeah, it's only been over a week, and I'm a first-class gardener. It's too fast."

"...What? Wait, isn't he a first-order runner? I sensed him..."

"Huh? He's still a first-order runner? He's double-ranked? He also created a second-order magic plant? This..."

The two professional keepers looked at each other, this is no longer explained by the rapid growth.

This is the road that has been completed for at least a year in half a month. This is completely using a super cheating device.

"It's too unusual...isn't it, you want to write a report?"

Lei Huoren asked subconsciously, but saw Xia Qin yawn.

"I'm too busy, I don't have time, I'll write when I'm free."

Will you be free? Oh, get it in seconds.

The three secret service teams have reached an agreement that in this dangerous world, if you want to live well, maybe you can't be so honest.

All the secret service teams are short of people, they have made countless reports, and the replenishment soldiers are always on the way.

As for the situation and contacts of the third squad, next year's student soldiers don't know how many they can grab.

If Lu Ping'an is really a cheating player, the two people who are in the same camp as him only hope that his plug-in will not be blocked.

"...I hope he'll be more honest, it's only two days, I can hand over to other people to supervise when I enter the school. I have few things on my hands, and I will spend more time investigating the sophists, hehe. , you can also get a good night's sleep and make up for the drama..."

But at this time, the phone on the table rang.

Lei Huoren answered the phone, and after only saying a few words, he looked at Captain Xia sympathetically.

"...Captain, I just received the news that after Lu Ping'an left us, he went directly to the secret realm of the forest, the one from Luxin Company...Captain, captain, what's the matter with you! do not scare me!"

Poor Xia Qin clutched her chest and almost didn't catch her breath.

"Lu Ping'an! You promised me! You untrustworthy little bastard!"

--------

------

"Ah... sneeze!"

Lu Pingan sneezed, feeling that some beautiful woman might be thinking of him.

He was walking on the familiar street, and there were people sorting out the remnants of the explosion and cleaning up the disturbing rubble.

Just by appearing, he has received countless gazes, as well as pointing at his back.

He ignored all the surrounding noise, yawned, and walked straight to the end of the street.

There, there was Luxin Company, which used to be a shop... He passed by directly.

This time, he really didn't come to ask for trouble, but there were some things that he had to deal with himself.

He touched the gate of the secret realm, and the life bank system began to operate.

[Now start linking to the first-order secret realm 'The Forest of the Three Rings', the host's secret realm journey will be postponed and settled, please wait...]

This is the source of Lu Ping's return.

"Settlement, can it be postponed?"

At that time, when he walked out of the gate of the secret realm, he actually got a comment when he took the initiative to settle the settlement with the secret realm.

[Gift from the master of the secret realm (virtual personality of the girl in the forest): Not enough~lightnovelpub.net~ not enough, really not enough. And that disgusting dark green vine beard monster....Do you sell it? I will give a good price. 】

When Lu Pingan saw the comprehensive evaluation D and the gift, he was completely confused, and he asked a question subconsciously.

"Actually, the expected performance is not over yet, it is near the gate of the secret realm, you should be able to perceive it..."

[The master of the secret realm proposed to postpone the settlement of your experience to the host, and the settlement will happen automatically the next time you arrive at the entrance of the secret realm. Do you agree to the extension? 】

Can you even do such a thing? Can this settlement time be communicated? Lu Pingan was puzzled and disturbed, but Chris solved his doubts in one sentence.

"......Life Bank's rank is much higher than this low-level secret realm, and most importantly, they are of the same kind......"

Now, Lu Ping'an understands that humans and machines can't reason and can't speak, but AI and AI are different things.

"No wonder, they said before that they would use the ability of the rule system to enter the secret realm to explore the way. I have no reason to refuse this suggestion."

The rule system meets the rule system. The two sides analyze each other, consciousness becomes language, and requirements become rules, and it is possible to achieve the so-called "communication".

So, really, when Lu Ping An completed everything and returned here, the settlement happened naturally.

[Deferred settlement begins, the first-order secret realm 'The Forest of the Three Rings' has been completed, and Lu Ping'an's overall evaluation is D...S (the master of the secret realm is satisfied with your performance and has improved your evaluation), and now further settlement will begin, Please wait. 】

"Is this still possible?! The evaluation has gone through so many levels?! How much do you want to see these people die? Aren't they from your church?"
