Arknights Welcome to Terra Continent

Chapter 20 Longmen Night



It was getting dark, and the inspection team at the city gate gradually shortened and then disappeared.

Most of the guards had withdrawn, leaving only a few to guard the city gate. The gate slowly closed, leaving only a small door for the guards to enter and exit.

Beichen hid in the shadow of the city wall and observed the situation of the city gate.

Seizing the gap when the guard turned around, Beichen slipped into the small door and smashed the surveillance camera looking at the city gate from the air. Of course, he used stones picked up from the ground.

Unexpectedly, the alarm was triggered at this time. It seems that the guards at this Longmen are not completely free of charge. However, how could so many integration movements be allowed to sneak into the slums.

Beichen took out the stimulant and plunged it into his chest. Since he was discovered, he just rushed in!

In an instant, Beichen transformed into an afterimage and rushed directly into the city gate, knocking out all the surveillance cameras (+10 points)

Without it, it’s just Cai Liu’s habit.

The guards' reaction speed was still fast. Beichen watched from a distance as a large group of guards gathered at the city gate and then dispersed.

It was time to start searching for himself. Beichen sat in the tree and considered his next move.

At least we need to figure out which area the slums are.

Beichen had long been far away from the city gate, so it seemed that the efforts of these guards were in vain.

What Beichen didn't know was that because of his forcible intrusion, the Longmen Guards Bureau had stepped up surveillance on all entrances and exits, making it much more difficult for the Integration Movement to infiltrate, and ultimately fewer people entered Longmen.

Isn’t this wave a great achievement?

Beichen didn't need to pry for any information. He went directly to the newsstand on the roadside and bought a map of Longmen.

Most tourist cities like Longmen have such detailed maps.

Although the main currency in Longmen is Longmen Coin, the boss of Terra Coin still accepts it. Who would have trouble with money?

Beichen simply calculated the exchange rate and found that Longmen coins were much more valuable, about 4 to 1. It seemed that Longmen was a top-ranked city in the entire Terra.

I looked at the map and saw that it was said to be a slum area, but it was actually an area between the city and the city wall. The tourist map didn't even indicate the information about that area.

Beichen planned to go in and take a look first. Although the area was relatively large, he might be able to directly meet an old man walking.

Walking on the street, although it is already dark, the nightlife of Longmen people has just begun.

A company employee who had worked all day was currently naked from the waist up at the barbecue stall, pouring beer into his mouth, chatting and laughing with his colleagues. It was difficult to tell that half an hour ago he was wearing a suit and sitting upright behind his desk.

Colorful lanterns are also hung in shopping malls, movie theaters, and parks. There are so many places to go.

But where Beichen wanted to go was nowhere near this bustling city.

It was dark, very dark, with only the flickering orange lights slightly illuminating the dark alley.

The tangled wires, the dripping eaves, the moss-covered stone steps, and the silent night.

No slum dweller would choose to come out when it’s dark.

Except for some people with specific goals.

Beichen walked on the rooftop. This way he didn't have to pay attention to the complex terrain in the slums below, and he had a good view, except for a little problem sometimes.

As soon as Beichen jumped to the rooftop, he saw two waves of people in front of him, wearing black clothes and holding suitcases in their hands.

Damn, this is some kind of classic Hong Kong movie, but I am not Jackie Chan, and this is not a furniture mall.

People on both sides looked at Beichen, and the bosses of both sides were making eye contact.

"your people?"

"No."

"Kill him first?"

"OK"

As soon as he made a gesture, people on both sides gathered around Beichen. There was no dialogue or quibbling, and they started fighting with real swords and guns.

It can only be said that when Beichen was still in Qicheng, there was no pressure to fight against gangsters like this who had no ability and could only accumulate numbers. Now, it can only be said to be an instant kill.

Beichen didn't even need to make a move. As soon as he got closer, the dagger in their hands was already pierced into their waists. The stick in their hands either hit him on the head or threw it in the face of the person next to him.

There was chaos upstairs, and the bosses of both parties saw something was wrong and were about to run away, but Beichen caught them one by one.

"Why did you run away? Come back and continue."

In the end, everyone upstairs was tied up tightly with ropes by Beichen, hoping that someone would find them as soon as possible in the morning.

Because it was on the territory of the Rat King, Beichen didn't kill anyone. He opened the suitcase and the contents inside almost blinded Beichen.

I am super, Longmen Coin! A lot of Longmen coins!

Beichen opened the other box and saw that it contained sealed Originium crystals. Good guy, we met our colleagues.

By the way, smuggling Origin Stones is illegal in any city, and they will all be confiscated from you!

Beichen put the Longmen Coin and Origin Stone into his personal warehouse, turned around and jumped off the rooftop.

As soon as Beichen stepped forward, inexplicable dust enveloped the entire rooftop. The dust dispersed, and the figure of the Rat King appeared on the rooftop.

He looked at the bosses of both parties who were tied together, sighed and said, "This time, you have crossed the line."

Ignoring the pleading looks from the bosses on both sides, the Rat King said: "These people should be dealt with according to the regulations. Those who should be released should be released, and those who should not be released..."

His figure disappeared into the dust again, and his voice could be vaguely heard: "New outsiders, you have to go and see him."

At this time, Beichen was in front of a stall in the park and said to the boss: "Boss, please have some scale pills."

"okay."

Brother Jie behind the cart put the already kneaded scale balls into the water and boiled them.

"Big bowl or small bowl?"

"Big bowl."

"it is good."

Beichen sat in a daze on the white plastic chair of the food stall until Zie brought a large bowl of scale pills in front of him.

Beichen picked one up and blew it with his mouth. He waited until it stopped steaming and then put it in his mouth.

It was delicious, but someone seemed to be coming.

Beichen looked back and saw that it was the old man walking around. That would be fine.

It seemed that he saw what he had just done.

The Rat King also moved a plastic chair and sat down, and said to the Jie: "Bring me some scale pills, too, in a big bowl."

Then he turned his head and stared at Beichen. Beichen said while eating: "Hey, please stop looking and tell me if you have anything to do."

The Rat King was also unambiguous and asked straight to the point: "Did you do it?"

"Yes."

Beichen answered simply.

"Where's the stuff?"

Beichen thought for a while, gave the handbag to the Rat King, and said, "It's all in there, I won't give you the money."

The Rat King opened the suitcase, looked at it, and said, "The quantity is correct. I don't want to go into details about the Dragon Gate Coin, so I'll just give it to you. However, can you explain your purpose to me?"

"You must also know my identity, so we might as well talk about it openly."

Beichen didn't care about that much. Rhode Island was going to Longmen tomorrow anyway, so Beichen just talked about it all.

"The organization that hired me is Rhodes Island. They will discuss cooperation with the Longmen officials tomorrow. They sent me here to test your tone and see what you think. What happened just now was just done casually. After all, they were the ones who made the first move.”

The Rat King closed his eyes and said, "That has nothing to do with me. As you know, I'm just an old man passing by. As long as I don't go too far, I can pretend I didn't see it."

"There are little bugs that have sneaked into the ghetto, so be careful."

Of course Beichen knew that, after all, the fight here would be in full swing the day after tomorrow.

Taking out the communicator, Beichen immediately called Kelxi, and Kelsey answered Beichen's call instantly as usual.

"Hello, Kelsey?"

"If you have anything to say, tell me immediately."

Beichen stuffed the scale pills into his mouth and said, "I've already met the Rat King here. He said he didn't care about it. It's probably because Wei Yanwu got angry with him."

"How come you found him so quickly?" Kelsey asked.

"Oh, he is still taking scale pills with me now. We are destined to meet, isn't it?"

The Rat King who was eating scale pills next to him almost choked. What does it mean to have a fate with you? It was obviously the big noise you made that attracted me here.

"By the way Kelsi." Beichen continued.

“There is already an integration movement moving into the ghettos of Longmen.”

Kelsey thought for a while and said: "Then now issue a new task to understand the intentions of the ghetto integration movement and sabotage their actions."

What is there to know about this? Isn't this an open-book exam? The Integration Movement is looking for Misha. How to stop them is easy. Wait until W kidnaps Misha and rob W.

But Beichen had a better idea.
