I'm living off a woman in Arknights.

Page 107

To be honest, Yunyi was in a hurry at first, but as they worked, he became the most relaxed one among them, and he was busy chatting with her, the young lady, and Old Chen.

That's normal. Yunyi's emotions come and go quickly. He was probably just momentarily carried away and would forget about it soon enough.

As Hoshiguma inwardly chuckled and mocked Yun Yi, Chen Huijie chimed in, "We now have a general understanding of the Inner Guards. Perhaps we can use this information to formally interrogate them next time."

She thought with a touch of regret that the three people from earlier had died without her having a chance to interrogate them, leaving behind unknown information; it was a bit of a waste.

"Can these bodyguards, who are like suicide squads, really interrogate people?" Yun Yi immediately revealed a subtle expression. "It seems that the previous three bodyguards died quite... fiercely, without any sign of compromise."

It seems like the inner guards are the kind of loyal guys who would put poison in their mouths and bite the poison to commit suicide if they failed. The reason they didn't do that is because they themselves are capable of self-destruction.

However, she banned that ability.

In short, in Yun Yi's stereotype, unless the master requests it or the master is threatened, there is no possibility that a death squad would reveal core information—the same applies to the inner guards.

However, Yun Yi forgot that besides sacrificing themselves for their masters, another reason why assassins commit suicide by poison is that their backers cannot ensure that they will not instinctively leak crucial information during various forms of torture and interrogation.

No matter how much you brainwash or format people, they are still living animals. They can be brainwashed and they can be de-brainwashed. Generally, the reason they can't do it is simply because the degree is not high enough or the key points have not been touched.

However, it doesn't matter that she doesn't know these things; everyone else present knows perfectly well.

That's why Chen Huijie felt it was a pity, because it was feasible to get the inner guards to reveal information.

But the one who answered Yun Yi's question was not Chen Huijie, who had such thoughts about it, but Shi Huaiya, who was closest to Yun Yi, so close that she was almost touching Yun Yi's face.

“Of course we can, don’t underestimate us.” Swire said confidently, wagging her tail. Then she tilted her tiger ears back, looked up and met Yun Yi’s gaze. “You don’t need to worry about these things. Just deal with these demonic forces, and then bring the inner guards in and hand them over to us. Oh, and remember to catch two of them.”

"Alright." Yun Yi nodded with some doubt, turned around, raised his hand, spread his five fingers, and aimed at the water column that was twisting and crashing against the wall of the icosahedron.

She used her mind to manipulate the rules of the driving space construction, and built several five-meter-long straight-barreled sci-fi cannons around the opponent according to the template she brought.

Immediately, Yun Yi clenched his fists and said in a very ceremonial manner, "Die."

Before the words were even finished, several futuristic cannons rapidly lit up with red indicator lights, one after another, from the breech to the muzzle. The muzzle instantly emitted a dazzling, swirling ball of light whose color was obscured.

Just as Yun Yi uttered the syllable "ba," the ball of light was silently shot out by the science fiction cannon.

The ball of light dispersed into several beams of light in mid-air, and the beams of light further dispersed into several smaller beams of light, eventually giving rise to what at first glance appeared to be a sky full of beams of light.

These blinding beams of light shot into the icosahedron from all directions, filling it into a giant luminous object.

Just then, accompanied by strong winds, the belated, deafening roar of artillery fire reached the four men's ears.

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 203 Shi Huaiya: I'm very curious.

Yun Yi's ears rang from the loud noise, and the hem of her trench coat fluttered wildly. If Swire hadn't raised her hand to hold her shoulder in time, Yun Yi might have been blown away by the strong wind.

But she paid no attention to any of that. Instead, she excitedly put her hand over her eyes, put one hand on her hip, and stared at the huge explosion she had created with sparkling eyes. She laughed and whistled a cheerful tune, "Whoa—Whoosh! Awesome!"

Chen Huijie and Xingxiong almost immediately showed some disapproval, but Swire reacted the most.

"Huh?" Upon hearing Yun Yi's words, Swire felt her blood rush to her head. Her forehead bulged slightly, her tail stiffened, and her tiger ears bent backward with extreme displeasure and a hint of restraint.

Swire gritted her teeth, unconsciously tightening her grip on Yun Yi's hand, her eyes blazing with bright anger born of lingering fear. "What's so satisfying about that! That was too dangerous! If I hadn't reacted quickly, you would have already hurt yourself!"

The sudden heaviness in his shoulder, followed by a tingling pain, snapped Yun Yi back to his senses. His face contorted in pain. "Ouch—it hurts! Be gentle!"

She instinctively took a step back to dodge, but was easily grabbed back by Swire, whose eyes were blazing with fury. "Pain? Serves you right!"

Despite saying that, after Swire realized that Yun Yi was really in pain, she subtly reduced the force in her hands, skillfully controlling the pain Yun Yi felt to a level roughly the same as the pain of having his waist muscles lightly twisted.

It hurts a little but not much; it's just that it's very noticeable and serves as a reminder.

"Haha, I'm getting carried away..." Yun Yi chuckled sheepishly after being scolded, and his expression became even more guilty after he realized that the pain in his shoulder had subsided.

After all, Swire was clearly worried about her, and she had indeed acted somewhat recklessly in a moment of passion.

Seeing Yun Yi's guilty expression as he chuckled, Swire folded her tiger ears and glared at him, "The higher-ups? So high-ups that they don't even bother to take basic precautions for themselves? Where did you come from, you fanatical demolitionist?!"

After she finished complaining, she took a deep breath, suppressing the urge to flick her forehead on the spot, and called out in a light tone but with an inexplicable sense of pressure, "Yun Yi, think carefully before you speak."

"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll slap you!" Swire's clear green eyes, which reflected Yun Yi's figure, glanced meaningfully at Yun Yi's forehead, back, and buttocks before returning to Yun Yi's eyes and glaring at her.

Yun Yi felt like the hairs on her body were standing on end. Everything else was fine, but she was a grown woman being spanked? And the person spanking her might be Swire, who was probably even younger than her!

This is no ordinary social death. If Swire really did this, she would definitely consider moving to another planet to live on—it's too embarrassing!

No! Absolutely not! This must be stopped!

Yun Yi's relaxed gaze instantly hardened. "Yes! I was wrong! Next time I use a dangerous move, I will definitely put on a higher level of protection, so please forgive me!"

She clasped her hands together, tilting her head slightly, her eyes peeking out with a pitiful, watery look. "Please~"

Please don't spank her!

Yun Yi's increasingly skillful ability to act cute was successfully activated. With the added boost of her stunning good looks, Swire, who was facing her directly, suffered a massive blow.

Swire's two tiger ears, which were covered by fur, suddenly flared up. If Yun Yi were to touch them now, he would definitely let out a comfortable sigh—this is a top-notch hand warmer, fluffy, bouncy, and warm, with a superior feel.

Unfortunately, Yun Yi, blinded by the promise of a better future, failed to notice this benefit in time.

In her eyes, Swire merely paused for a moment, her gaze sharpening, the blush on her face from the lingering "anger" deepening slightly as her emotions surged again. "You, you'd better keep your word!"

Yunyi wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but she felt like she had heard that sentence at least two or three times before, which made her feel a little dazed.

But the sense of impending doom quickly dispelled her momentary daze. Yun Yi's eyes regained their firmness, and she solemnly declared, as if she were swearing an oath to join the Party, "I promise!"

Swire, whose memory was better than hers, did not respond immediately, but suddenly sighed.

Yun Yi paused. She didn't think Swire was sighing at her serious attitude; the other person's personality didn't seem that disrespectful.

So, why is Swire suddenly sighing? He's even forgotten about our conversation.

Yun Yi couldn't help but look curious. "Swire, why did you suddenly sigh? Did you think of something?"

“I suppose so,” Swire rubbed his forehead in exasperation. “You need to have some awareness of your own words and actions.”

She felt like she had experienced countless emotional ups and downs in the past few days, and she had a premonition that with Yun Yi around, she probably wouldn't have an easy time in the future. "We've only known each other for a few days, and you've already made more than ten promises to me..."

It wasn't that she didn't trust Yun Yi, but the fact that he had made so many promises, whether willingly or unwillingly, in such a short time was enough for Swire to realize that Yun Yi had many problems that needed to be addressed.

She couldn't just abandon Yun Yi; logically, she had to deal with them one by one.

The problem is that Yun Yi's words and actions reveal many of his ideas and habits that are incompatible with theirs, and it would be too unfair to them to change them.

After all, Yun Yi is a sure-fire future powerhouse, so there's no need for her to force herself to integrate into this land. She can simply follow her own ways and let others adapt to her.

Therefore, Swire could only offer some minor, inconsequential suggestions, urging Yunyi not to develop any bad or self-destructive habits before he had truly become powerful, and to change some of his bad habits that she herself didn't care about.

Even so, he has received more than ten promises in return... Yun Yi's questions are unusually numerous.

As Swire spoke, she pondered. Looking at Yun Yi's confused yet clean and clear eyes, she suddenly became curious, "What kind of place did you live in that could raise someone like you?"

Yun Yi raised an eyebrow, confused as to why the topic had suddenly shifted to her hometown.

But since it was Swire who asked, she didn't understand, so she rested her chin on her hand and started to think back. "Hmm? It was just... an ordinary place, right?"

“Without Originium, Originium Arts, and without ears and tails, the gap in strength between people isn’t as large as yours, and natural disasters aren’t as deadly as yours. Man-made disasters…” Yun Yi paused for a moment, a thoughtful look on his face, “…perhaps they’re similar? But they won’t cause a world-ending crisis.”

Volume 2: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 204 (Main storyline with many physical and psychological descriptions - Warning!) Chen Huijie: Will...?

"If I had to pinpoint the biggest difference..." Yun Yi glanced at the three people in front of him.

Chen Huijie was dressed in a smart uniform and equipment, with a crimson sword hanging at her waist. The winding dragon horns on the side of her head shone brightly in the light, showing a strong presence. The dragon tail with its proudly upturned tip swayed naturally behind her, looking supple and flexible.

Chen Huijie looked back at Yun Yi's red eyes, which resembled snake pupils, giving her an inhuman majesty. Her expression remained solemn, and a cold aura permeated her surroundings at all times.

Stripped of the corsets that clearly accentuate her figure, Chen Huijie's style is a blood-soaked battle aesthetic, making her look like she's about to draw her sword and charge into a blood-soaked battlefield at any moment, unleashing an even more brutal fight, all to end this meaningless battle.

Commonly known as, "full of murderous intent".

Meanwhile, Hoshiguma was no less impressive. Although the cheerful smile that unconsciously appeared on her lips when she looked back at Yun Yi seemed warm, it couldn't hide the conspicuous demon horns with a metallic sheen on her forehead, the unruly way she wore her black uniform, and the aggressive aura emanating from the imposing Hannya in her hand.

Yun Yi felt that Hoshiguma's shield, with its sharp edges and ferocious reliefs, was probably capable of turning opponents into mincemeat in a life-or-death battle; its offensive capabilities were off the charts.

Moreover, Hoshiguma's dark, strange golden eyes, when ignored, are even more chilling than Chen Huijie's majestic dragon eyes.

It's hard to reconcile Hoshiguma's appearance with her gentle demeanor—the contrast is so stark, she almost seems like a smiling tiger.

Swire, on the other hand, is a heavyweight. Perhaps she is the weakest in terms of strength, but she is the most well-equipped. Even though her uniform is bright orange, it cannot suppress her vigilance.

The most direct impression one gets is that she seems to live in an environment where she has to deal with all kinds of crises at all times.

At this moment, she was filled with curiosity, but her green eyes, which appeared somewhat downcast due to lingering emotions, only deepened this impression.

This world, this place, is not peaceful, it is very dangerous.

Looking at the three of them again to confirm the impression Terra had left on her, Yun Yi said with a hint of emotion, "The place I used to live was much more peaceful and safer than this place."

“The whole earth—the world,” Swire changed her tune halfway through, using a more suitable term for Yun Yi, but the look of shock in her eyes remained unchanged, “is it all peaceful and safe?”

"The world? Does it refer to the earth?" Chen Huijie's mind worked quickly. She quickly put together an equation based on Swire's words and then understood what Swire meant.

There is another earth beyond the earth; this has long been a conjecture. Although Chen Huijie was surprised that Yun Yi was a visitor from beyond the earth, that was all.

She believed in the principle that existence is its own justification. Compared to Yun Yi's identity, which had little impact and could not be changed as long as it was not leaked, Chen Huijie cared more about the possibility that Shi Huaiya mentioned.

A burning flame couldn't help but rise in her eyes, "Old Yun, is the land you once lived on truly as Swire described?"

Stability and order across the land—that is indeed achievable, isn't it?

Chen Huijie's gaze towards Yun Yi was more intense than ever before, making Yun Yi feel a little embarrassed.

She scratched her face and quickly clarified, "It's not that bad. It's only because of the hard work of people from all walks of life in my country that basic peace and security can be maintained in the area where I live."

"Many people, including myself, are bearing the burden for the people, barely ensuring the safety and stability of most people's lives, and enabling them to obtain certain resources they deserve." Yun Yi sighed. "Without eradicating parasites, foreign forces, resource pressures, and other natural and man-made disasters, this peace and security is, to be honest, not stable."

“That’s enough. The remaining problems can be gradually eliminated.” Chen Huijie quickly took over, her eyes shining brightly as she looked at Yun Yi. “The key point is—the place you used to be in truly made the people feel safe from the bottom of their hearts!”

Wei Yanwu resorted to some unjust means, but ultimately it was because Longmen wanted stability and to maintain basic order. Such methods were the most efficient and useful for people who faced long-term life-threatening situations.

Chen Huijie never felt a complex sense of rejection towards Wei Yanwu because of his purpose, but rather because she simply disapproved of his methods—Longmen is Longmen for the people of Longmen, for those who live and work there; the main body is not the city itself, but the people of the city.

The moment Wei Yanwu issued the order to arrest Yun Yi, Chen Huijie felt:

He cares about the people of this city, but he cares even more about the city itself, or rather, he cares about the stability of his rule and the interests of the majority.

Therefore, he can crush anyone who stands in his way without hesitation, even if that person is innocent or someone he should protect.

Chen Huijie had read many books and heard many stories and events. She certainly understood that, as a ruler and the leader of Longmen, Wei Yanwu's actions were, in the eyes of people at the same level and the majority of those who benefited, an extremely correct decision.

Even on this turbulent land, perhaps Wei Yanwu's seemingly underhanded methods can actually lead Longmen further.

Therefore, Chen Huijie had always harbored a secret hope: Could it be that Wei Yanwu himself actually rejected this method? Could it be that he was still the upright hero she had always admired, just like before? Was it the harsh environment of this land and the grim situation in Longmen that forced him to lower his bottom line again and again, ultimately leading to his current indifferent trampling on the innocent?

Chen Huijie knew it was impossible. Wei Yanwu had always been clear-headed and self-controlled. Besides, even so, there were many alternative, less unsightly, methods.

Take Yun Yi's case as an example. No matter what Yun Yi revealed to Wei Yanwu, he could have first sent her to Huairou to make contact, then sent enough troops to monitor her for a long time, or even guided Yun Yi to make a mistake before issuing an arrest warrant with conclusive evidence.

These methods may be more roundabout and have more uncertainties, but they are still better than the one-stop forced arrest that Wei Yanwu chose... Perhaps that is why the other side chose the latter.

Whether Yiqi Yi Ersi Ba Bian Wei Yanwu had other considerations or was just putting on an act, Chen Huijie didn't know, but based on her own bottom line, she absolutely could not approve of the other party doing this.

But then again, is it possible to turn Wei Yanwu back into the person he once presented to him?

Chen Huijie originally thought there was no such thing, but Yun Yi's "world" gave her the inspiration to change Wei Yanwu - if the people of Lungmen and even Terra felt safe from the bottom of their hearts, would even the beneficiaries spontaneously reject and strongly disapprove of unethical means?

In that case, Wei Yanwu, who values ​​the interests of the majority, might actually restrain himself a bit.

Volume Two: Fireworks at Longmen: Chapter 205 Shi Huaiya (Sweating profusely): The important thing is to get down to business, the important thing is to get down to business.

Perhaps it was Yun Yi's strong performance and the fact that everyone present was one of their own that gave her a sense of security. In addition, this matter was a thorn in Chen Huijie's side, and she was so engrossed in thinking about Wei Yanwu that she became somewhat dazed.

Seeing this, Yun Yi stroked his chin, pointed at the stunned Chen Huijie, and cast a questioning look at Xingxiong and Swire, who were more familiar with her, "Is Old Chen alright?"

“No problem.” Swire also saw Chen Huijie clearly lose her composure for the first time, but responded decisively, “It should be that the information you provided is useful enough to Old Chen—don’t worry about it, it’s her own problem.”

"...Oh." Yun Yi nodded in relief. In short, it wasn't because of a few words from her that the other person's brain went blank.

Although she didn't think that a few words could achieve such an effect, she just wanted to be on the safe side.

She dared not forget the soul within her that was more deadly than any weapon; perhaps just because she had said a few words about her past life, her soul had interfered with Old Chen's mind.

This is not impossible; Swire was previously injured by a wisp of soul brought out by the doll.
