Kicked out of Rhodes Island, a small quilt was covered in the hole of the Longmen Bridge

"...What are you getting nervous about?"

Bai Hua briefly recalled her experience during this period, and then came to the conclusion that 'if you answer honestly, you will be beheaded by Chi Xiao'.

Although Chen Huijie and herself are just friends and colleagues, Bai Hua can clearly realize that no matter Mrs. Wenyue or even Wei Yanwu, they don't take their relationship with Chen so purely.

Maybe even Chen himself...maybe he doesn't just see himself as a colleague.

At least when she and Lin Yuxia were fighting against her, Bai Hua was sure that this was not the behavior and distance that ordinary superiors and subordinates should have.

"Anyway, it's good that you're fine, and thanks to you, the two sections of the signal station and the underground engine passage have been temporarily guarded."

After all, it was an extraordinary time, and Chen didn't intend to dwell on it.

"It's just the work of Superintendent Broken Horn and my friend—where are Miss Shi Huaiya and Sister Gui?"

Bai Hua looked around the position, and found that she didn't see the loud voice of the drone, or the tall and reassuring ghost sister.

"The two of them are going to disperse the reinforcements of the enemy army. We are scheduled to forcibly raid the Guard Bureau in 10 minutes and prepare to take the Guard Bureau back."

Chen held the standard sword handle at his waist and looked towards the Guards Bureau building not far away.

"A surprise attack? But the number of integration movements below is not small, and a rash attack may—"

"We're out of time, Birch."

"time?"

Chen interrupted Bai Hua, Gray Wolf couldn't understand the meaning of "time" in Chen's mouth for a moment.

Aristocrat Vaifan walked up to the two of them, and the noble young master replaced Chen and explained to Bai Hua why "there is not enough time"——

"We had to go and forcibly retake the Guards, Birch. Uncle Lawrence...he was left in the Guards, and, and—"

The noble young master couldn't finish his sentence, but Bai Hua, who had experienced countless separations in Kazdale, had already realized what he wanted to say in the second half of the sentence.

———5 hours ago, the Guard Bureau——

"You know, young master, I always feel that this surprise attack is inexplicable."

Detective Lawrence was sitting in the Guard Bureau looking bored at the wall clock on his head, and suddenly talked to Noble Vajvan beside him.

"I also think it's a bit abnormal... Uncle, are you talking about—"

"I can't, I just feel inexplicable, but I don't know what's wrong."

"..."

Lawrence took out the cigar, but he glanced at the no-smoking sign beside him, and put it back in his pocket with a sigh.

"The Logistics Department of the Propaganda Department of the R&D Department has been dismissed, and our special police team should be the last one left."

Lawrence looked at the Guards Bureau officers who kept leaving beside him, chatting lazily as usual while checking the number of people.

"Why did the Guards Bureau dismiss everyone? Wouldn't this lead to a lack of police force in the Guards Bureau?"

"Who knows, it's either for the sake of safety, or it's because you plan to use yourself as a battlefield. If the situation is not good, remember to hurry up."

"But the Chief Superintendent didn't say let's stand on the last watch—"

"Stand up, the chief superintendent has already run away."

Lawrence shrugged, and then looked at the smugglers and infected people who were locked in the detention center with confused and flustered expressions.

"It's been a day since you were locked up, how do you feel?"

Lawrence asked the infected people what it was like to be locked up.

"The food is good."

"...It's really good, you guys."

Lawrence, who heard the comment, opened the cell of the detention center and signaled the group of people to get out of here.

"Detective, are you...?"

"Sneak out now and find a place to hide, I guess it will be over soon."

Lawrence motioned the infected people to take advantage of the chaos and slip away. These infected people looked at each other, and finally nodded to the unshaven police detective in front of them, and then left the detention center together.Because everyone was leaving the Guards Bureau, no one cared about the captured stowaways, so they just let them get out.

"Uncle, what are you?"

"Ah? The Guard Bureau is about to close down. We can't keep this group of people locked up. Are you stupid?"

"It doesn't make sense..."

Although the noble young master wanted to complain, he didn't know what to say, so in the end he could only touch his horns in embarrassment.

After dismissing these infected people, only the Criminal Investigation Section and some other officers stationed here remained in the entire Guard Bureau.

"In this way, the whole building should be deserted."

After dismissing the infected, Lawrence spread out on the chair and took out a cigar generously, ready to smoke one.

"It seems that the interrogation room still has an infected thug who was caught before, and it hasn't had time to deal with it."

Master Vajvan responded in a low voice, Lawrence who heard this could only sigh again.

"Really, remember to tell me when you're done using the interrogation room. The communication system isn't disconnected—oh yes, the communication system was unplugged by me before and hasn't been connected yet."

Lawrence brushed his hair and walked upstairs to the interrogation room.

"Hey, the guy with black spots on his body, go to the storage room on the basement floor, what kind of mess will this place become if you don't keep it in place for a while—"

Lawrence's tone was nonchalant, but when his gaze was on the gloomy Phaedian boy with seaweed hair in the interrogation room, the uncle's eyes instantly widened.

"Sasha...?"

Lawrence recognized the true face of the 'infected thug' boy in front of him, and at the same time whispered an extremely strange-sounding name.

"Why are you... wait, you're not some shit 'infected thug'."

Lawrence realized the true identity of the Phidia boy in front of him. The other party was not a stowaway like the one in the detention center downstairs, but a member of the integration movement.

No one can survive the fall of Checheng as an "exposed infected person" in Ursus, unless he chooses to join the integration movement against Ursus.

"..."

After a moment of silence, Lawrence took out the walkie-talkie.

"Young master, immediately inform everyone to give up the Guard Bureau immediately."

"Ah? What do you mean uncle——"

"Hurry up and get out, the superiors plan to use us as bait, only idiots."

Lawrence hung up the walkie-talkie, and from the beginning to the end he stared at the young Phaedia in front of him.

"...Aren't you leaving?"

"I'm a bargaining chip, although I don't know if it's worth it—let those children go."

Lawrence sat in front of the boy called 'Sasha' and responded calmly.

"...do not attack the last evacuated target."

After a moment of silence, the boy issued an order through the walkie-talkie hidden behind his neck to members of the integration movement who were unclear about his movements.

"Thanks, Sasha."

After hearing this, Lawrence sighed, then put his feet on the table in the interrogation room and lay back.

"So—you have a new codename now, right?"

"Faust."

"Faust, what a subtle name. I'd better call you Sasha."

Lawrence nodded.

"So Sasha—I'm sorry."

Lawrence folded his legs, he sat in front of Faust, and bowed his head very seriously to the boy who was much younger than him.

"If I could have listened to your words a little bit at that time, if I could have stopped the violence of Ino's parents... Well, there are not so many ifs, but I am still very sorry for you."

Lawrence sighed and shook his head slightly.

The reason why this uncle wandered to Longmen was because of an extremely vicious arson and murder case in his own jurisdiction, in which a family and five children were killed, and the suspect was a Li Boli boy named 'Ino'.

Sasha is Eno's friend. When Eno suffered domestic violence every day, Sasha sought Lawrence's help, but was completely ignored by the sheriff in the end.

"How have you been, Sasha? Have you had a hard time all these years?"

"..."

Faust nodded slightly.

"It seems that everyone is not doing well. Everyone is living like a piece of shit. Sometimes people really have to wonder where the good days have gone. Could it be that those Rutlands are enjoying it?"

Lawrence smiled to himself.

"What about Ino? The kid is all right—oh, I don't need to ask at all."

Before finishing the question, Lawrence himself laughed.

Lawrence had previously collected some information on the Reunification Movement, including some descriptions of Mephistopheles—that is, Eno.

A guy who piles up the living and the dead and burns them all together, how "good" can this kind of person be?He has gone mad, the only question is whether there is any humanity left.

"Do you regret it, Sasha? At that time, you were not an infected person, and you had your own family. But you gave up all of these for Yinuo, and now you follow him to invade Longmen, as an infected person—you Do you think this is too costly?"

"……Do not"

Facing Lawrence's questioning, Faust shook his head slightly.

"So what about watching your companion turn into a lunatic?"

"..."

This time Faust chose silence.

Lawrence took out a cigar from his pocket, took out a lighter and took two puffs to light it up, and a communication came from the intercom that the officers of the Guards Bureau had evacuated.

"Most people don't have the ability to repent, all we can do is make a choice, and my guy seems to make the worst choice every time, maybe this time is no exception—"

Lawrence hung a cigar, took out a portable folding crossbow from the back of the windbreaker, and pointed the crossbow at the young Phaedia in front of him after stringing it up.

But instead of pulling the trigger, Lawrence twisted the grip and handed the crossbow bolt to one of the integration leaders.

"I've seen a lot of people who are hopeless, who are struggling, who are in emptiness and despair but finally crawled out... Watching people has become the only thing that this good-for-nothing uncle like me can do."

The young Phadia boy had untied the shackles long ago, and he took Lawrence's crossbow bolt, this time the trigger was under his own index finger.

"You're a good boy, Sasha. But you don't understand what true friendship is, and using this crossbow bolt to bring Ino relief—this is the only thing you should do as a 'friend', the right choice, not Fall into the abyss with him."

Lawrence makes a request to Faust - kill Mephisto himself, before everything collapses.

"This is my last request, so what's your response, Sasha?"

Lawrence asked Faust, and after a moment of silence, Faust raised his crossbow and pointed it at Uncle Ursus in front of him.

"Oh, that's really a pity."

Lawrence sighed and accepted his wrong decision again.

------

Boom! !

"Teams 1,2 and 3 occupy the entrance, Team [-] immediately clears the SWAT office on the second floor, and the snipers are ready to defend!"

With a loud bang, the gate of the Guard Bureau was knocked open by an integration movement soldier, and the senior superintendent Chen led the team directly into the lobby of the Guard Bureau like explosives.

"Report, according to monitoring and detection, there are no traces of enemies inside the corridor"

"Nobody? I see—anyone else saw Superintendent Lawrence!?"

Chen asked the raiders aloud.

"Lawrence...uncle?"

Bai Hua's voice came from the corner. Gray Wolf stood in front of the reception desk in the lobby of the Guards Bureau, looking in disbelief at the senior police superintendent who was lying aside and pierced by crossbow arrows with blue and golden pupils.

"Uncle—!? No...don't do that, uncle!"

The noble young master under Lawrence's command immediately rushed forward. He knelt on the ground and lifted Lawrence up with trembling hands.

"Uncle-"
