Beneath the prosperity, many of the worst are hidden, and it is not too much to describe it as filth.

But to say that the law and order is so bad that it can't be managed... but not really.

After all, this is New York that has become a reality, not the Gotham that only exists in the comics.

The plot in the comics can be arbitrarily arranged, and it is nothing more than adding a sentence or two to explain the setting, but in reality... The development of anything has a context to follow, even if it is the result of extreme coincidence, it is not may exist separately from the 'process'.

Whether it is a scientific level or a social perspective, the basic laws that build the framework of the entire world exist in every corner.

Want to break these underlying rules with human power? Unless you are the funny guy of Deadpool, and you have to be Deadpool after 'enlightenment'.

So, just like humans cannot dive into the deep sea by themselves without wearing pressure-resistant waterproof clothing, no matter how arrogant the villains are, they will not dare to expose their evil deeds in broad daylight. After all... the system of this country has not collapsed, and various law enforcement agencies are still functioning normally. Comparing their strengths, the evil parties are far from being the opponents of the state machine.

"Have you found anything?" Under the darkness, Shi Xiaolei finally couldn't help but ask a question as he accompanied Beyunita around the pier twice.

There are still some eyeliners or secret guards left by the villains. In order to ensure that they will not be disturbed and lead to the loss of traces, the two did not make a big debut, exposing themselves to the light.

In fact, when she came to the vicinity through the portal, Sister Bei immediately opened the space-time rift, and with Shi Xiaolei who accompanied her, she got into the 'parallel space' - this is one of the witch's own talents . In fact, every time Bayonetta hunted angels or demons, she would cast this spell first to send herself into this layer of space, otherwise, her attacks would not be able to cause damage to those guys at all.

It seems that it is very similar to the "mirror space" used by the Kama Taj mages, but after careful analysis, it can be found that the two are not the same thing at all, and there are fundamental differences.

The biggest feature of Kama Taj's 'mirror space' is that it does not affect reality.

But Bayonetta's ability is just the opposite - in "Angel Hunter 1", the reason why Luca keeps chasing Bayonetta is because his father is hidden in a parallel space He was killed by the angels who could not be noticed by ordinary people, and he only saw Beyoneta who had just woken up from a deep sleep, resulting in a huge misunderstanding; in "Angel Hunt 2", it can also be seen When Sister Bei launched an attack in the parallel space, the scenes that left traces of reality, such as the destroyed stalls on the dock square, are the most powerful evidence.

Hiding in a parallel space will not be noticed by others, and at the same time, you can get in touch with some information left in the real space... Thinking about it from another angle, this trick is really suitable for 'secret investigation'.

"I smell the stench of sin..." Stopping, Beyonita had a look of disgust on her face: "There is also a cursed stench."

"Huh?" After sniffing, Shi Xiaolei didn't smell anything special.

"Going over there." Closing her eyes and feeling it for a while, Beyonita stepped forward again, turned and walked in another direction.

As the two continued to move forward, they got closer and closer to the river bank.

Unlike the area where the containers are stored, there are some figures walking back and forth near the river bank.

Still not sleeping at this point? Combined with the fact that he was on the dock now, Shi Xiaolei's first thought was, 'These guys must not be good people, most likely they are XX dealers who came out to do business under the cover of darkness'.

Hidden in a parallel space, he came to these people, and when he looked again, Shi Xiaolei realized that he had misunderstood.

Where are the underworld elements, they are just stevedores working all night.

"This way." Just when Shi Xiaolei felt embarrassed, Beyonita beside him greeted again.

Following behind Sister Bei, the two came to a stairway extending to the water surface, stepped down, and came to the embankment that was only one meter above the water surface.

'What are you doing here? Could it be that……'

A guess came up in his heart, and then looking at the cold river water, Shi Xiaolei quickly shook his head and threw the guess out of his mind.

Fortunately, Sister Bei didn't stop and jumped directly into the water. Instead, she turned in a direction and continued along the river bank until she came to a 'sewage outlet' with a diameter of about two meters.

Looking at it from a distance, it really looks like a pipe outlet for discharging sewage, but after getting closer, Shi Xiaolei suddenly found that things are not that simple - only some rust and moss growing on the inner wall. In the pipeline, there is no trace left after the sewage is discharged, and there is no unpleasant smell that stinks. If this was really an outlet for sewage, it would never look like this.

"It's here."

"Huh?" Seeing that Sister Bei suddenly changed into a battle suit, Shi Xiaolei couldn't help showing a surprised look.

Before he could react, Bayonetta raised her hand and shouted a spell: "In my name, come out, bare teeth~!"

With a newly acquired Beast Demon Summoning Technique, a beam of light from the half-meter-thick faucet shot out, with an incomparably mighty aura, plunged into the dark pipe.

As the beam of light entered, the depths of the pipe were illuminated with transparency. Following this burst of light, Shi Xiaolei captured a fleeting picture—in the depths of this dark pipe, about a hundred meters away from the exit, there was a huge isolation valve like the gate of a bank vault.

It's too late, it's too soon.

With a roar like a dragon's roar, Guangya slammed into this solid-looking metal valve.

'Squeak~~! ' The twisting sound that made people toothache was amplified by the circular channel wall and returned to the ears of the two.

It's really hard to hear ~lightnovelpub.net~ and also very harsh.

As if wearing a mask of pain, Shi Xiaolei's facial features were wrinkled together, and his expression was grinning, as if he was being severely punished.

Almost at the same time, there was a commotion from the pier above.

It sounds like the unwitting stevedores are fleeing in panic, but listen carefully, mixed with some apparently purposeful shouting and swearing.

Obviously, there are indeed some guards above, and Bayonetta's move just now has already attracted their attention.

Next, how to deal with it?

Shi Xiaolei turned his head and cast a questioning glance at Sister Bei.

"Keep up."

Well, the words 'I'll stay and stop them' have not been said yet, and Sister Bei has already made arrangements. Seeing this, Shi Xiaolei simply stopped talking, and followed Sister Bei's footsteps and ran to the gate that had already broken a hole in the depths of the pipeline.
