Chapter 958: Chapter 882: Starting as a Law Enforcer

That day, Song Lan came to understand another life philosophy.

When chopping vegetables, one should concentrate on the task at hand rather than mulling over various distractions.

Zhuang Chi and the others had not been able to answer his question. In the year 2167, a time of culinary degradation, they were like everyone else—able only to eat, utterly incapable of distinguishing between ingredients. Song Lan, harboring a glimmer of hope, finally decided to toss the julienned potatoes he had chopped into the pot.

Perhaps there was never any ginger among these ingredients to begin with.

Or maybe, while he was distracted, ginger was carried away by a wild animal similar to Yeying.

Unfortunately, by the time Song Lan realized the problem, it was already too late.

In front of everyone, Lu Xiang did not throw a fit. Having unwittingly taken a big bite of the ginger, she calmly wiped the corners of her mouth with a napkin and confiscated the whole dish of hot and sour shredded potatoes before Zhuang Chi and the others could suffer.

She had noticed that this Dumb Bird had grown increasingly audacious since arriving in The Fourth Region.

Firstly, he blamed her for being a "Jinx Star" over the phone, and now he had even "poisoned" her favorite dish of shredded potatoes.

"After dinner, come to my tent," she said quietly.

...

When Song Lan opened his eyes again, the noon Sun was already high in the sky. Awakening to the unique spiciness of ginger flooding his taste buds, his drowsiness was swept away.

Next to the tent’s mattress was an array of empty plastic mineral water bottles—this was the outcome of his and Lu Xiang’s ordeal the previous night.

The cold-hearted and brutal Lu Xiang always came up with terrifying methods.

Adhering to the principle of not wasting food, she brought the plate of hot and sour shredded potatoes, laden with "landmines," into the tent. Potatoes were her favorite food, and coupled with the fact that it was the product of Song Lan’s labor throughout the night, there was no way she could simply dispose of it.

But as the head of the Law Enforcers department, she would also not let any "bad guy" off the hook.

Thus, Lu Xiang came up with a punishment game.

Inspired by a game called Russian roulette, she made slight modifications to the rules, making the task of tasting hot and sour shredded potatoes fraught with mystery, tension, and excitement

With Song Lan’s exquisite knife skills, it was nearly impossible to visually distinguish between ginger and potato shreds, but it was much easier using taste.

She brought over two small chairs and sat facing Song Lan.

The specific rules of the game were, whenever she bit into a large chunk of ginger, she would intimately feed the same to him, letting him experience the sensation as well.

Song Lan, who was not good at handling spicy food, was gravely injured, and even ended up dreaming about being chased by ginger as he slept.

"You’re finally awake," she said.

Seeing Song Lan open his eyes, Lu Xiang kindly handed over a half bottle of mineral water to him.

Russian roulette was a game that inflicted a thousand damages on the enemy while self-harming eight hundred, and she understood Song Lan’s feelings at that moment.

"Teacher Catherine sent a message early this morning. The military technology personnel have been pulled out, and they won’t be able to pay attention to The Fourth Region for a while."

Having lost control over Sea of Souls and with the gigantic robots hidden under the city further damaged, there indeed was no necessity for the company to remain, "Guan Lili has submitted her resignation, and the Kolo Film Industry executives have also temporarily reconciled. Their main target now is to rebuild The Fourth Region."

This was undoubtedly a massive project. The founder had also spent several years during his tenure building this place into Dream Chasing City. Even for a large company such as Kolo Film Industry, rising again from these circumstances would be extremely challenging.

It might take two years, five years, or even longer.

The experiences of The First Region and The Second Region provided reference for the construction team in The Fourth Region.

Song Lan took a sip of mineral water and looked up at Lu Xiang.

Lu Xiang’s lips curled into a mocking and malevolent smile, "As of now, you have directly or indirectly destroyed three core cities of the United Government, Jinx—Star—"

And he had always chosen the most prosperous cities.

The political and business entertainment centers of the United Government, as well as the Conservative Faction’s most prideful castles, were now all history.

Compared to Song Lan’s actions, the deeds of the Rebel Army in the "outside world" seemed no different from playing house. Even those infamous terrorists of the past, at most, had blown up corporate buildings with miniature nuclear bombs, causing destruction and loss far less significant than that caused by this Dumb Bird.

Song Lan felt that Lu Xiang had learned from someone not very commendable; RT6 was currently his top suspect.

Her expression and the deliberately elongated tone made him hallucinate the word "trash fish" ringing in his ears.

This was not a good habit at all.

Before Song Lan could speak, Lu Xiang continued, "Also, what kind of spell did you cast on them when you were a teacher?"

"Huh? What spell?" he asked.

"Veronica, the young lady whose parents are high-ranking officials in the Counterintelligence Department, now wants a job with us as a law enforcer, saying she wants to go deep among the grassroots people."

One didn’t need to think too hard to imagine how her parents would react upon hearing their diligently nurtured daughter wanted to be an ordinary law enforcer in a border city.

Just thinking about this gave her a headache, "It’s likely they might cut our funding through their connections, or find other ways to make things difficult."

Having the idle and leisurely Ms. Hanna gallivanting between Area Seventeen and the "outside world" was already troublesome enough. Without Hanna, the agents of the Special Cases Investigation Bureau, unable to locate her, would come to her office every now and then, appealing to her sentimentally and lamenting about the immense pressure at work. Missing such an effective member like Hanna was akin to pushing them into a pit of fire.
