Lila kept calm and said quickly: "I'm a penniless person, with a debt of 300,000. Do you think I have any valuables on me?"
Two robbers: "......"
"You should go to the rich neighborhood to rob, in a place like Peaceful Street that's all run-down, how could you possibly find any fat sheep? "Lila said earnestly, "Listen to my advice, robbing in a place like this is a dead-end, but if you rob the rich, it's a different story - three years without opening the shop, and then three years of eating well!"
The thief on the left hesitated, "But the rich area is full of surveillance......".
The robber on the right warned his accomplice: "This person is trying to trick us! Don't actually fall for it!"
"What's the point of me fooling you all? Lila dropped the umbrella and pushed them, "I have nothing in my hands, nothing in my pockets, and I live in a house with leaky walls, what good would robbing me do?"
"Wait!" The robber on the right suddenly looked excited, seeing the silver bracelet on Lila's wrist, and said, "What is that on your wrist?"
"Oh, this, if you want it, I'll give it to you." Lila reached out her hand to him.
The bandit on the right did not move, but the bandit on the left could not help but take a step forward.
At the moment the robber approached Lila, her outstretched hand quickly formed a fist and struck the robber on the temple.
"Click"
The robber's skull cracked at the temple, his face twisted, and he fell straight to the ground.
Lila: "Fuck!"
Even she was shocked by the power of that punch.
She was originally planning to knock the person out and then run away.
Lila belatedly realized that her physical condition was different from before. In the past, when she got into fights with street thugs on her way home from school, the thugs would have bruises on their faces, but her knuckles would be swollen and hurt for two weeks, and she could barely hold a pen.
Lila had aimed for his vulnerable temple, but the effect was too astonishing! The human skull was like paper under her fist, and she could feel the robber's bones colliding and grinding against her knuckles, then shattering.
The remaining robber let out a roar and lunged at Lila with a knife.
Before the sharp little knife could penetrate her abdomen, Lila instinctively dodged to the side, evading the strike.
The robber's movements appeared to slow down infinitely in her eyes, and before her mind could react, her body reacted first.
Lila quickly grabbed the robber's knife with her five fingers.
The small knife danced with silver flashes at her fingertips, and she smoothly reversed her hand and thrust the knife into the robber's body, the blade accurately piercing the heart through the gap between the ribs.
She even timely released the knife handle, calmly stepped back a step, and avoided the scattered splashes of blood.
All actions flow like water, and everything happens in less than five seconds. Before Lila's brain could think of a strategy, her body was out of her control... killing the person.
Lila's expression was blank, she stood dazedly at the alley entrance, her clothes drenched in rain, the open black umbrella swaying on the ground, but there were two people lying at her feet. She squatted down to check their breathing, then shakily stood up.
They stopped breathing, they are dead. The blood from the corpses flowed into the stagnant water, turning the puddles red.
"What's the matter? She was panting and her heart was pounding rapidly."
The game system's light screen appeared.
"You have unlocked the innate talent【Fighting】."
【Fighting】: Fierce beasts have the instinct to hunt, and this instinct will be more perfectly displayed after training. This is the muscle memory formed by dry hammering and tempering, and the neural reflexes created by countless rigorous trainings. Even in the extreme situations of blurred consciousness and physical exhaustion, you can still rely on your instincts to fight.
Lila let out a hiss.
This is not her own innate talent, but the innate talent of the body she possesses. She is a core member of the resistance organization, a double agent entrusted with an important mission. She should have a smart mind, keen intuition, and excellent combat skills.
These combat techniques have been engraved as instincts in this body, causing her to respond in an extreme manner when facing enemies, driven by her instincts.
A loud crashing sound came from the end of the alley.
The young man in the hoodie came back, his face full of terror. He stared wide-eyed at the body on the ground, the metal baseball bat he was holding dropped from his hand, thoroughly frightened. "Good sir," Lila wiped the rain off her face and gave the hoodie-clad young man a stiff smile, "could you please call the police for me? I'm innocent, as you heard, they were trying to mug me."
"No, no problem." The sweatshirt guy tremblingly took out the communicator and clumsily dialed the number several times before it was connected.
The call is connected, and the sweet voice of the operator says, "Hello, this is the City Security Hotline. How can I help you?"
"Robbery case, the address is......" The hoodie guy paused, he looked to Lila for help, "Where is this again?"
"The harbor area, Anning Street, the location is roughly in the middle." Lila said.
The delivery person reported the address, and then said out loud: "I also need to call an ambulance..."
"No need to call, the person is already dead," Lila said again.
The delivery man looked more and more terrified, and he stammered, "You... What did you do?"
"Self-defense." Lila did not look at the corpse on the ground and said concisely, "Can you be my witness? Prove that they indeed had the intent to rob with knives, there doesn't seem to be any surveillance cameras around here, and you are the only witness."
The hoodie guy hesitated for less than a second before nodding: "Okay, if you need it."
Lila let out a sigh, picked up the black umbrella from the ground, shook off the raindrops, and walked towards the guy in the hoodie.
The delivery man in the hoodie retreated in panic.
Lila: "......"
"You didn't bring an umbrella, the security guard might not come for a while, we can share an umbrella." Lila said, "I'm Lila, a student at the Black Sea Academy."
"Nice to meet you. I'm also from Black Sea Academy, what's your major?"
Lila said: "I am studying criminal investigation."
"Criminal investigation? No wonder they are so capable."Xi muttered.
"Thank you tonight." Lila walked over and tilted the umbrella a bit towards him.
Xi let out a dry laugh: "No problem, just do good deeds like Lei Feng... Although it seems you don't need my help. My parents' convenience store is just up ahead, I heard the robbery and got quite a scare,
I went back and got a baseball bat and came right over. I might have to go give a statement soon, so let me go let my parents know I'm okay first. Wait here for me.
Lila slowly nodded, watchingdash into the rain and disappear around the corner of the street.
She thoughtfully activated her wristband and searched the keyword "Lei Feng" online.
Search match results - "".
The second world has no deeds of Lei Feng doing good deeds, nor the term "Lei Feng spirit".
"As expected, I was right."Lila thought.
Hoodie guyis a player from the first world.
He was probably just arriving in this world and not very familiar with it, so his action of dialing the emergency number was so clumsy, because like Lila, he didn't quite understand the high-tech personal devices of the cyberpunk world. He didn't pay close attention to his location or record any information, or maybe he remembered it but was too panicked to recall it, so when he called for help, he didn't know this was Peaceful Street in the harbor district.
Xi's understanding of the history of the Second World is too limited, which is why he said "learn from Lei Feng to do good deeds," a remark that is widely known in the First World but not in the Second World, where people are unfamiliar with who Lei Feng is.
Meeting a fellow villager in a different realm, what a delightful and welcome plot twist.
But, among the six pieces of advice given to players, it was said: "Do not reveal your identity as a player to anyone."
Anyone!
Lila carefully considered and decided to comply.
She will not reveal her identity to second-world people, nor will she reveal her identity to fellow players. She will treat this as a role-playing game, she will play her role, and she will be a qualified "player".
Lila waited with an umbrella for ten minutes, and Xi ran over in the rain.
This surprised Lila, as she thoughtwas making an excuse to escape, after all, for him, being dragged into a major case involving a death upon arriving in another world would be a very unwise choice.
"Goodness, this rain is really heavy. I have no idea when it will stop." Xi had an umbrella in hand that he had taken from a convenience store. "I've already told my dad, we're just waiting for someone to come."
After five minutes, a hovering police car stopped above Lila and Xi, and the vehicle's loudspeaker said: "Please put down your weapons and raise your hands above your head."
Lila and Xi did as instructed, and then a police car descended on the street, with two security guards armed with weapons getting out of the car, and a laser red dot from the firearm's aiming assistance appeared on Lila's body.
"I am Lila, a trainee security officer from the 7th squad of the Investigation Department field team." Lila said quickly, "I was mugged on my way home and defended myself against the assailants."
One of the female security guards looked at Lila and said, "Adam, scan."
"Scanned, face matched." Adam's mechanical voice appeared, "What you said is true. Hello, security intern Lila."
It then reported: "Xi, fourth-level citizen, student of the Mechanical Engineering Department at Black Sea Academy, no criminal record, target assessment as non-threatening."
Galvin, a fifth-class citizen, a homeless vagrant, with criminal records of robbery and theft, the target has already died, no value for rescue.
Seth, fifth-class citizen, unemployed vagrant, has a criminal record of theft and property damage, target is deceased, no rescue value.
The two security guards who got out of the two police cars put away their weapons and nodded at Lila: "According to the procedure, we need to take a statement, please come with us for the investigation."
"No problem." Lila glanced at the dazed Xi, "He is a witness."
"Okay, don't worry. The security guard patted Lila's shoulder, "Once the record is completed, there won't be any problems, it's just a procedure."
Lila sensed something was off. Although she was only an intern security guard, and the two people she had killed also had criminal records, her colleagues' attitudes were strangely light, as if her killing of two people was not a big deal, just a matter of going through some procedures to let her go without any legal liability or even disciplinary action... Why?
Lila sat in the back seat of the police car, and Xi sat next to her.
The police car took flight, carrying them towards the Junecha Building.
"Xi had a complex expression: "So you have connections inside... You should have told me earlier, you made me do a lot of mental preparation for nothing.""
"No big deal, I'm just an intern security guard with a debt of 300,000." Lila leaned wearily against the police car seat, "Ah, I just got off work and haven't even made it home, and now I have to go back again..."
