Chapter 224: Athena: Suddenly feeling that being hypocritical is also quite good ()

“Routine inspection, of course I wouldn’t forget.”

Facing White Yaksha’s reply, which carried a hint of aggression, Gabriel didn’t care at all, but replied with a smile.

“It’s just that in my opinion, this kind of thing doesn’t count as a big deal.”

“If the White Night King came out personally, shouldn’t there be other things?”

“For example... asking me to give you some face and not stir up trouble in the lower levels.”

“It’s been a while, your courage has grown.”

A sneer appeared on White Yaksha’s face: “I’ll put it bluntly, if you dare to stir up trouble, I dare to twist your head off.”

“Since the White Night King has said so, I naturally wouldn’t dare to stir up trouble.”

Gabriel shrugged and looked into the depths of the church: “Peter, stop for a moment, the White Night King is here for a routine inspection.”

“Wait a moment.”

A calm voice came from the depths of the church, with no intention of giving White Yaksha any face.

“I’ve discovered some clues not mentioned in the investigation report. It’s possible the murderer returned to the scene in the last few days and left them intentionally.”

“Oh? You have gains so quickly?”

Gabriel didn’t seem to expect this either, and looked at White Yaksha again: “White Night King, you should have heard it too.”

“It’s not that Peter isn’t giving you face, it’s just that our time is tight right now. How about we put the routine inspection on hold?”

“Cut the crap.”

White Yaksha sat down on a seat nearby: “Confirming a clue doesn’t take much time, I’ll just wait here for you.”

The so-called routine inspection refers to a secondary confirmation of three-digit rankers who have come to the lower levels.

Ensuring that the other party has sealed their own Spirit Grid and Authority, and that the retained power will not cause large-scale impact on the surroundings.

Although these seals are not firm, and the sealed person can break them whenever they want.

But there is a world of difference between someone who has a seal and someone who doesn’t when they come to the lower levels.

One can only exert three-digit power during specific periods, while the other can exert three-digit power throughout.

The former is barely acceptable, while the latter is too dangerous.

If one is not careful, even if White Yaksha stays in the nearby area, she cannot guarantee that the two won’t cause any major trouble.

In order to maintain the order of the lower levels, White Yaksha must ensure that the seals on these two are intact before they meet Lin Que.

“Still as persistent as ever.”

Facing White Yaksha’s persistent attitude, Gabriel felt a bit helpless.

“You don’t actually need to be so serious, we will still abide by the basic rules.”

“Since that’s the case, why have you been stalling?”

White Yaksha frowned: “Peter is investigating clues, and you aren’t, hurry up and come over so I can inspect you.”

“Alright, alright.”

After confirming White Yaksha’s attitude, Gabriel didn’t continue to probe and directly released the aura on his body.

“For safety’s sake, I won’t get too close.”

“You should have brought the Laplace Eyes, just look directly.”

“......It seems you have indeed complied with the rules.”

White Yaksha, who had put on a pair of glasses at some point, turned her head and looked into the depths of the church.

“Can you hurry up? Why is investigating a clue so slow.”

Peter: “......”

Nonsense, if he investigated too quickly, he wouldn’t have time to patch the seal.

In the depths of the church, Peter, who had silently patched the seal, sighed and walked toward the church hall.

Forget it, anyway, the investigation is about done.

There’s no need to use three-digit power until the murderer is found.

Nameless territory, in the newly rebuilt front yard.

“Brother Lin Que~ you finally came!”

Lily, who was helping to set up the food, looked up and greeted Lin Que, who was walking from not far away.

“The food is almost ready, Sister Black Rabbit and the others are all at the podium.”

“Wait for you to go on stage and give a speech, then the banquet can start.”

“It’s just an internal gathering, why make it so formal.”

Rubbing the little head of the fox-eared loli, Lin Que, who had been showing off in the group for half a day, looked around.

“The banquet officially begins, everyone can start eating.”

Lin Que’s voice wasn’t loud, but it was very penetrating.

In less than a second, his words reached the ears of everyone in the courtyard.

A burst of cheers came from the younger group not far away, and the children, who had been eager to try, picked up their bowls and chopsticks and began to feast on the delicacies.

· ·········· ·······

“Alright, you don’t have to be busy anymore.”

After giving the instructions casually, Lin Que patted Lily’s head.

“Put the dish in your hand on the table and hurry up to eat, otherwise the food will get cold and won’t taste good.”

“Hmm, I know.”

Lily nodded her little head, then secretly pointed to the roast meat on the center table not far away, and whispered a reminder.

“Brother Lin Que, Sister Black Rabbit made that for you herself after hearing you like to eat meat. Remember to give a good review later.”

After speaking, Lily didn’t wait for Lin Que’s reply and ran toward the table of the older group not far away.

“That’s somewhat unexpected.”

A voice came from not far away, carrying a hint of surprise.

...... 0 0

“I didn’t expect you to be quite popular in the community.”

“You’re wrong about that.”

Lin Que shook his head slightly and looked at Athena, who was walking toward him: “Am I not popular outside the community?”

“Who are you referring to?”

Athena’s face was full of confusion: “It wouldn’t be White Yaksha, who looks at you with displeasure every day and wants to put a sack over your head in secret, would it?”

“That’s just a rumor.”

Lin Que shook his head: “My relationship with White Yaksha is great, she even asked me to help act as a Floor Master for a while recently.”

“And besides White Yaksha, I’ve done quite a few things for you, haven’t I earned any favor on your North North North Side?”

“First of all, you being able to act as a Floor Master only represents that your strength meets the standard and you have a certain sense of responsibility.”

[Internal Group (qi liu san si ba ling yi wu qi)]

“Whether the relationship with White Yaksha is good or not has no causal relationship with this matter at all.”

“Secondly, I don’t feel that any of the things you’ve done have been able to arouse my favor.”

Athena paused slightly: “If you really have to say it, I took the initiative to stop in the Algol matter before, and afterwards I helped you take the blame and assisted you in targeting the Christian group. Shouldn’t you be the one who has favor for me?”

“Hmm... that seems to make some sense.”

Lin Que nodded thoughtfully: “Then I have favor for you now, do you want to come and live at my house tonight?”

Athena: “......”

Without any warning, Athena suddenly became less repulsed by the word ‘hypocritical’.

......a few.
