Without any warning! Without any hesitation! The ultimate explosion of pure mechanical efficiency!
"Splash—!!!!!"
The fragile old-fashioned glass window shattered under the violent impact of the alloy toe!
"Damn it!"
The White Queen charged forward at breakneck speed, and Chun-Li's movements were also incredibly fast, leaving behind a powerful gust of wind that exploded on the spot!
The two of them charged fiercely toward the broken window!
but……
late!
"Snapped!"
"Snapped!"
The White Queen's fingertips only had time to touch a few strands of hair, slightly scented with flowers, fluttering in the strong wind.
Chunli slammed her hand hard against the cold windowsill edge, causing the cracked cement to fall down in a shower!
Before my eyes, all I could see was the swirling morning mist of the slums outside the window…
And those two black dots that were rapidly shrinking and about to disappear into the distance!
Glass shards scattered on the floor, making a screeching sound.
The two stood frozen at the broken window, their chests heaving violently.
The White Queen gritted her teeth, "Human experimentation, I'm going to take control of it!"
Chunli's almond-shaped eyes were filled with maternal worry, "Little Bean, that child..."
Even the beautiful and kind-hearted Tifa looked out the window with a worried expression.
Li Pu frowned; he hadn't originally intended to get involved in this matter.
After all, the fate of "romance" remains a mystery.
Little bean sprout? That child was indeed something he casually fished out of the polluted hotel, but that's all.
To put it bluntly, I'm not running an orphanage...
Moreover, an Alice whose authenticity is unknown, and who is suspected of being "forced to mature" by some kind of experiment, is somewhat eerie.
As for Miss 2B... he knows her too well.
The core logic of 2B is engraved with the ironclad rules of "not harming humans" and "human glory will last forever".
She won't do anything to the little one.
So, when the White Queen and Chun-Li lost their temper, 2B jumped out the window with Alice in her arms, and the whole agency was in chaos...
He remained completely unmoved.
What he cares about more now is that bizarre dream he had last night...
He couldn't quite tell whether it was his own dream or, because of the sealed artifact "Dream Synapse Device," he had entered someone else's dream and encountered Alice.
Judging from the fact that the little bean sprout has grown into Alice, did I enter the little bean sprout's dream last night?
But if it's a little kid's dream, why does Alice seem to be waiting for him the whole time?
but……
【warn! 】
The anchor point 'Romance (Not Activated)' has been lost...
[Intelligence clearance will soon be downgraded from Level C to Level D...]
[Please immediately re-anchor your destiny to "Romantic," otherwise the downgrade will take effect in 24 hours...]
"..."
Li Pu's expression froze instantly.
His vacant gaze suddenly focused!
I……
Hold!!!!
Where the hell is my anchor point?
I'm such a huge anchor point!!!
How could you possibly lose this thing?!
It was just hanging in the system tray a moment ago! It was so big!!!
Originally, I was happily upgrading my privileges!
The result! *Snap!* Gone!
It's like a fucking dream!
You stupid robot!
No! We must take back the anchor point!
……
At breakfast time, the morning light sparingly spilled onto the old floor of the office, and the air was filled with the faint smell of dust and wood chips from dried bread crumbs.
A corner of a long desk.
Chun-Li and Tifa each held a dry, hard slice of bread, munching on it while looking across at each other.
And at the other end of the table.
The White Queen leaned against the edge of the worn-out desk, her fingers tapping unconsciously and anxiously on the old mahogany surface. Her other hand gripped the old-fashioned telephone receiver, which was flashing a communication signal, pressed tightly against her ear.
"...Hmm, Exella? Keep tracking her. I'll explain to the Second Association that the banquet wasn't your problem."
"So the target trajectory has been captured? Excellent... Locate the coordinates, ready to..."
suddenly!
Her languidly reclining back straightened instantly!
She suddenly put her elegantly crossed legs down, and the heels of her high heels slammed heavily onto the wooden floor with a loud "thud!"
"--What?!!"
The sudden rise in volume shattered the silence like a tsunami!
It was no longer the deliberately lowered queenly tone, but a shockingly distorted soprano voice!
She practically screamed:
"She escaped Eagle City with the little one...?!"
"To...a deserted wilderness?!?!?!"
Chun-Li looked at the White Queen in shock.
Li Pu saw this scene while munching on dry bread, and he frowned slightly.
2B took the little bean and ran off to the wilderness.
He also remembered that the brain demon at the banquet came from the wilderness.
The wilderness outside Eagle City... I have no choice but to go there now.
Thinking of this, he decisively pulled up the new daily intelligence report in his mind, which he hadn't been able to browse due to the unexpected situation that day.
[The Valkyrie's daily stats have been updated.]
Chapter Seventy: New Intelligence: A Turbulent Day for the Bank
[Current intelligence weight: C-level. You can obtain three randomly selected C-level intelligence reports daily, as well as three fixed pieces of erotic gossip.]
A message has arrived from the distant sea of flowers...
[Purple! Rank C! You have obtained new information after witnessing 2B kidnapping '???' and escaping from the agency into the wilderness—]
After escaping Eagle City by kidnapping '???', 2B will head to a hidden, abandoned base ruin in the northwest.
[Having unlocked purple intelligence for the first time, I have received three additional purple extended intelligence rewards.]
[Purple Intelligence Extension 1: What lies beyond the high walls of Eagle City? This is a question that even the most powerful figures at the top of Eagle City probably cannot answer.]
Ruins and relics of various ancient civilizations, as well as distorted and bizarre planets in the outer space, and countless monsters beyond human comprehension are roaming in every corner outside the high walls of Eagle City.
Even with official support, an exploration outside the walls of Eagle City requires a huge expenditure on equipment and facilities to ensure a pitifully low survival rate.
[Purple Intelligence Extension 2: Due to the financial deficit, the agency will find it difficult to organize an effective wilderness exploration in the short term.]
The strong-willed White Queen would not request any financial assistance from Exella, the head of District R, or the Second Association; maintaining the firm's independence was her bottom line.
[Purple Intelligence Extension 3: Tomorrow, due to the banquet incident, R District leader Exera seems to be sending a poorly equipped suicide squad to the wilderness to investigate, in order to give an explanation to the other districts. You can take this opportunity to infiltrate the squad and head into the wilderness.]
As Li Pu ate his dry bread, he secretly glanced at the White Queen and Chun-Li, who were looking worried.
I reckon these two old ladies definitely wouldn't agree to go into the wilderness by themselves, so it's essential for them to infiltrate the exploration team!
But as for life-saving equipment, you'll have to figure that out yourself...
Let's move on to the next point.
[A message came from the falling petals...]
[Blue, Rank C. New information has been obtained as the agency is currently operating at a financial deficit—]
If you go to the alley next to the East Coast Bank in the center of District R this afternoon, you will find a large sum of stolen money that the bank robbers hastily dropped.
Hmm, Blue Intelligence got another lucky break.
Currently, blue intelligence is opportunity-oriented, highly informative, and relatively reliable.
Especially when it comes to finding bargains, aside from the first time when I reminded the hotel that the air conditioning could beat the eight-foot lady, the rest of the time I was just finding bargains.
And then he met his junior sister, a rich girl who could get things for free.
Compared to the absolutely reliable purple and red intelligence, blue intelligence is roughly equivalent to a random small treasure chest that you can reliably snag.
As for white intelligence, which is one level below blue...
Information is incomplete, value fluctuates greatly, and risks and opportunities coexist.
In short, "the duality of gods and demons".
Sometimes he's a god, sometimes he's a monster.
The first piece of crucial white intelligence he learned from discussing the principles of "being a person" with the Flesh Mountain Woman was that it was about being a god.
At yesterday's banquet, the only piece of information mentioned was that the brain demon Tesla would donate all the funds to charity; that's definitely a super weird story.
We must be cautious when dealing with white intelligence, and it is best to have other intelligence for comparison.
Next one, please don't make it white...
[Purple Rank C. You and Tifa witness the White Queen and Chun-Li defeat the Wilderness Alien at the banquet, obtaining intelligence—]
Because the leader of District R, Exera, sold the information about the "Flying Light" dual chosen ones, which came from the mutants, to the leaders of various districts.
Upon learning that you and Tifa were the chosen ones of "Flying Light," the leader of Sector H, the settlement of Eastern Continentians, was extremely annoyed and decided to send someone to secretly contact you and Tifa and bring you back to Sector H.
A team secretly dispatched from District H has already taken up residence at Dongzhou Bank.
“…” Li Pu scratched his head.
So, even after they moved in, Dongzhou Bank could still be robbed?
It seems like Dongzhou Bank is quite lively today...
I've read all three pieces of intelligence. Purple-blue-purple.
It's a good thing there's no white intelligence!
He decided to take a look at the three more "scandalous secrets" to see if any of them were of any use.
[Pink Rank C. You encountered Mai Shiranui at the banquet yesterday and have obtained a new 'Pink Secret'—]
