NO. 86: Just say whether you asked or not!

Lin Dun: 【Is Mr. Kanlong here?】

Fa Shu Zhi Long: 【Looking for Kan Long? There's no @ function here, have Yuan Gong Jun contact him, Yuan Gong Jun, are you there?】

Yuan Gong Jun: 【Can't you private chat? This app also hasn't prohibited you from private chatting.】

Mo Li Ya Di: 【Listen, what's the matter, Yuan Gong Jun?】

Lin Dun: 【I came here because the private chat got no response; I'm acting as the merchant's representative to contact him.】

Guai Ke He: 【The merchant is looking for Kan Long again? He won't have been arrested again, will he?】

Fa Shu Zhi Long: 【The use of this 'again' is quite exquisite; interested in coming to develop in the divination department? Gui Ke He】

Gui Ke He: 【? Second time entering the palace?】

Mo Li Ya Di: 【There might still be a third time, if he continues this performance.】

Gui Ke He: 【How come it seems like you all know?】

Lin Dun: 【I was at the scene watching him get arrested.】

Gui Ke He: 【...】

Yuan Gong Jun: 【...】

Mo Li Ya Di: 【Sounds actually quite interesting.】

Kan Long: 【Yuan Gong Jun says the merchant was arrested again? Where is he held? Is it the Two Worlds Safety Bureau?】

Lin Dun: 【This time he was escorted to the Frontier Gate Prison of the General Police Headquarters, because there were no charges related to crossing over.】

Kan Long: 【Police bureau?】

Mo Li Ya Di: 【If it's changed to the police bureau, Kan Long would not have that much motivation.】

Kan Long: 【Shut up, Moriarty.】

Mo Li Ya Di: 【Oh, then I won't say it.】

Laughing to death, Kan Long won't refuse a job, will he?

Seeing the atmosphere in this chat room, Aomo earnestly conducted expression management.

Although no one wears name tags above their heads and avatars are all in various styles like from an Ikebukuro film set, Aomo has always been paying attention to the dynamics of Gui Yuan Zhi Tang's chat app.

Just being familiar with those few consistently active avatars is enough to mentally add code names.

——If really impossible, having the Witch Beast stand at the window and mark a small plugin would also work.

However, considering that this app's download procedure involves mystical concepts from source energy, Aomo still decided not to take this risk.

And that electronic foster father, who was long determined to be only a mascot, is still studying with the cyber hackers, and these days he hardly ever appears.

Once he appears, he looks like he's been bathed in holy light.

Everyone knows that, compared to the adopted son's demon bloodline's obvious resistance to holy attributes, Mori Sen's performance in this regard while alive could only be described as tragic.

But it's not to the point of imagining a desiccated corpse appearance.

All we can say is that he has become again the state he was in when little Aomo first saw him.

Although one can perform data packaging on appearance, that ever‑rushing‑to‑rest attitude can still reveal everything.

We also don't know how he learned the technology.

Aomo himself also reads books every day, occasionally looks up materials and does practice problems, yet he hasn't become like that.

When Aomo is spinning discs, he also appears briefly on the light screen, brushes up a sense of presence then disappears, trying to create a cyber‑spiritual phenomenon.

Nowadays he's even quieter.

But this is fine.

Whether in the communication of Gui Yuan Zhi Tang or in the earlier disc‑spinning session's planning supervision, strict prevention of variables is needed.

As an electronic soul, Mori Sen's particularity makes it easy to leave traces at the software level, and in the digital realm it's even easier to cause an irretrievable tragedy.

Before he truly masters it, the electronic wraith state gives him net convenience that is not as high as the risk.

Of course, this risk mainly stems from the matters Aomo is involved in.

All we can say is that if Mori Sen honestly does cyber‑retirement, it would be very easy, but to step onto the cyber battlefield—not only does it mean starting from scratch, but also facing strong opponents.

The opponents that Aomo faces aren't many low‑level ones; for example, beings like Ba Er Shou x, if it weren't for him summoning the Witch Beast, today's direct confrontation would still have to be planned long term.

One could start by hiring top‑ranked cyber‑hacker mercenaries, or openly seek the net police to ensure not being monitored.

Of course, directly commissioning the Mu Hai Detective Agency would be a quicker solution, but after all……

If it weren't for the Witch Beast seemingly being provoked by the other side, changing its previous attitude to actively prompt Aomo, then by the time he truly notices his own opening in this regard, it would probably be too late.

And now, his probing has received sufficient feedback.

The information that was deliberately given out was transmitted and received; the receiver then summoned the merchant, who stepped one foot into this natural trap——frankly speaking, this is too smooth.

So smooth that Aomo begins to doubt the stance of Ba Er Shou x and Yue Chi symbolism.

These two guys, could they not have sold out a convenience?

Looking at the current testimony and evidence, one cannot directly accuse Yue Chi symbolism; moreover, considering Ba Er Shou x's avoidant attitude toward fighting Bei Er Si Ta Shou, this incident rather seems like a tacit cooperation among everyone, the sole victims naturally being the merchant and the Bei He Mo Si that was unjustly punched by someone posing as a fellow.

】

Beasts don't think that much, but as a certain elf merchant, he seems still unaware of the problem……

Thinking of his slightly unsavvy performance in the visitation room, Aomo can only sigh that perhaps as a merchant he is too one‑sided.

Loving adventure, loving gambling, advocating that rare goods can be hoarded, this arms dealer's vigilance in scheming is indeed low.

Even if he's been sold out, he doesn't realize it, but his performance in adversity is passable.

He's willing to let go, knows when to advance or retreat.

Asking for help to hire a lawyer, but insisting on specifying the dragon clan—this additional requirement at first sounds like it would be a guy with 3000 attack power, but that actually has nothing to do with the lawyer; the openly listed dragon clan members in Gui Yuan Zhi Tang are two.

One of them naturally is the one who directly wrote the race as the code name 'Magic Dragon'—Xing Jia Lai.

And another one, likewise high on the wanted list; even before being exposed in Gui Yuan Zhi Tang, he had already been on it for quite a while—Rogerio, codename Kanlong.

Like Xing Jia Lai, he too is a local dragon.

But because he was quite well-known in the dark realm, in the chat room, like Aomo, he was one of those who had no secrets from the outset, and even in casual chat there was nothing to avoid about his identity.

This also let Aomo, before directly interacting with him, confirm the other's existence through occasionally peeking at the screen and looking up data.

Having seen in the message logs that 'the last time the merchant was rescued was this person,' Lin Dun naturally would not fail to understand the merchant's words.

But right now, Mr. Kanlong obviously shows some resistance.

The last time he rescued the merchant, he robbed a Two Worlds Safety Bureau vehicle.

This is not hard to understand; the fact that Kanlong and the Two Worlds Safety Bureau are at odds is directly written in his assault charges.

As for the police side…

From his lackluster reply, it's clear he has little hostility toward regular law enforcement.

Guai Ke He: 【Fashuzhilong, aren't you considering going for a trip?】

Fashuzhilong: 【What for? I abide by the law, okay? That guy's violated laws aren't that easy to defend.】

Yuan Gong Jun: 【Mr. Moriarty?】

Mo Li Ya Di: 【Old man, I still remember the merchant's awful offer last time.】

?

This merchant is so slow in scheming, yet in business has made Mo Li Ya Di suffer a loss?

Aomo looked at the chat record with some surprise; just as he thought it a bit odd, he then saw Kanlong send a message:

【I'll still go take a look; is the newcomer still around?】

Lin Dun: 【Here, are you sure you want to raid the Border Gate Prison? The security there isn't that easy to handle.】

Mo Li Ya Di: 【Indeed, here at the Clock Tower there are plenty of records of reckless folks attempting jailbreaks, ending up getting caught together, and there really aren't few of them.】

Kanlong: 【Doesn't matter, rescuing people isn't about brute force; I and Yuan Gong Jun borrowed a card. Newcomer, do you know where that guy is held?】

Lin Dun: 【Of course, after all that guy always comes to me for help, so I did ask a bit.】

Aomo said, pulling up the official website of the General Police Headquarters and the manual customer service chat, then typed a question on the spot:

【Which detention area is Kinsley. Mueller held in? Urgent question! Kanlong is coming to rescue the person.】

【B2 area, serious offender reform point; may I ask if you need cooperation to lower detention difficulty?】

【No need, just add a bit more police force, make it slightly stricter, that's natural; thanks everyone.】
