The Guide to the End of the World: Four Sentinels Compete for Favor

Jing sat on the sofa, took Ai Wanxin's hand, looked up and said with a smile: "Yes, sister, let's wait here, they should pop up like mushrooms in a while."

In the office behind the bar on the second floor, Li Wantao stood in front of a dark surveillance screen and asked sinisterly, "Are you sure he said he was introduced by Qiao Fengyu?"

The two sturdy men who were guarding the door in the alley just now stood respectfully with their hands lowered, and said in a deep voice: "It is absolutely true, Brother Tao."

Ah Si had just sent the men down and came back to report. He stood aside and listened to a few words. Then he saw that the surveillance screen was completely dark. He immediately realized something was wrong.

Except for a few special private rooms, there are no surveillance cameras in other rooms downstairs, not even in the elevators in the corridors. After all, the people who came to their place before the end of the world were a mixed bag of good and bad people from both the black and white worlds, and it was not easy to mess with either side.

But for some people who need to leave evidence, or some people with no background but a lot of money who can be killed without any problem, Brother Tao will have them taken to those special private rooms.

He thought it would be the same today, with strangers who knew nothing and a group of three. Wouldn't this be exciting enough to make his nose bleed?

So he slipped in like a loach under the pretext of reporting back, wanting to see something new, but he didn't expect that the surveillance was blocked. From what Brother Tao said, it seemed that there was something fishy about the whereabouts of the three people.

Li Wantao asked in a deep voice: "Did Qiao Fengyu come today?"

Ah Si's eyes rolled around, and he stepped forward and said, "Brother Tao, Qiao Fengyu didn't see him today, but his two men were here."

Li Wantao raised his chin and said, "Call them over."

Ah Si went out quickly and when he came back, he was followed by a young woman with long curly hair, who was Ji Lanlan.

After Ah Si entered the room, he said, "Brother Tao, Warthog is fighting with Wolverine. I brought her here first."

Ji Lanlan followed him in. Her eyes were red and her voice was a little hoarse. She barely called out, "Brother Tao."

Li Wantao sat back in the boss chair, looking at Ji Lanlan's tearful face, and asked knowingly, "Why are you crying?"

Ji Lanlan's lips trembled, she knew what was waiting for her, but You Hongda was no match for that monster. If he hesitated any longer, You Hongda would surely die.

Her eyes were covered with mist, her throat rolled, and she said, "Brother Tao, please let Brother You come down, I will agree to anything you ask."

Li Wantao chuckled: "Think it through?"

Ji Lanlan couldn't help but tremble all over. She closed her eyes and nodded, a tear silently sliding down from the corner of her eye.

Li Wantao took out a cigarette and put it in his mouth without lighting it. Ah Si poked Ji Lanlan with a tactful look.

Even if she was unwilling, she had to step forward and add fuel to the fire for Li Wantao.

Li Wantao took a deep breath and sprayed the gray smoke on Ji Lanlan's face. He enjoyed watching her humiliated and unable to resist for a while before saying, "Don't say that Brother Tao is making things difficult for you. Brother Tao has protected you for such a long time."

Ji Lanlan responded softly: "Thank you, Brother Tao."

Li Wantao sniffed the warm fragrance on her body and said with satisfaction: "Help Brother Tao do something today, and I will have someone bring You Hongda down."

"Three people came just now, saying they were introduced by Qiao Fengyu. Go and see who they are. Are they using Qiao Fengyu's name to cause trouble, or is it true?"

Ji Lanlan didn't expect it to be such a simple task. She asked in disbelief, "Is that it?"

Li Wantao smiled meaningfully: "Don't worry, I'll take good care of you when you come back."

In the private room, Ai Wanxin and Jing leaned over to look at the tablet.

"Jade... calligraphy and paintings... ceramics... Hey, I have a bigger diamond." Ai Wanxin said casually, "These auction items don't seem to be anything special?"

"Sister, these are indeed ordinary auction items. The extraordinary ones are here~"

Jing turned to the last page of the auction, scrolled to the bottom of the page, and clicked on an iceberg icon.

A login box popped up on the page that was supposed to be an introduction to the auction items.

Jing entered a string of ID and password with ease, and the tablet's interface changed immediately. A line of large characters appeared on the page with an ice-blue background.

【Welcome back, Captain Joe. 】

Ai Wan asked in confusion: "Who is Captain Qiao?"

Jing put his chin on her shoulder and said obediently, "She was the captain of my former team, sister."

"......What team?" Ai Wanxin began to search her memory in confusion.

Before she finished speaking, she remembered that when they met again in the old city of Frost City, Jing once said that he appeared in Kang Baibo's small base to carry out a mission, but later the mission failed. The captain of their team blamed everything on him and wanted his life, so he escaped and joined her.

"Is that the guy who always gives you dangerous jobs and then blames you?" Ai Wanxin lowered her eyes and looked at Qiao Fengyu's head portrait on the screen, and asked coldly, "Where is he?"

"This is their contact point. They may come here soon, sister." Jing arched his eyes into her neck, and his slightly cool lips gently brushed her warm neck. "Sister, are you worried about me and want to help me vent my anger?"

Tuoba Qiong, who was sitting on the single sofa next to him, couldn't help but let out a breath from deep in his chest. He said unhappily, "Do you still need others to help you vent your anger?"

Jing said innocently: "Sister loves me, isn't it okay?"

The two of them would always quarrel over nothing, and Ai Wanxin was used to it. She curiously clicked on the only red tab on the right side of the tablet: "What is this? Why is the color different?"

The page jumped, and several familiar faces were neatly arranged on the page, all coming into her sight.

"Isn't this me?" she wondered, "And Brother Han, Brother Xiao Pei, hey, you're all here."

Jing came over to take a look and laughed, "Sister, we are all on the strangulation list."

"Huh?" Ai Wan asked curiously, "What is the Strangler List?"

"If you kill us, you will get a bonus." Jing said, then reached out and clicked on his own photo.

[Jing, 23 years old, male, dual-element sentinel of wood and shadow, level: unknown.]

[Reward: 1 ton of gold. ]

【Tips: Possesses the superpower of invisibility and was once a member of the "Blue Fox" mercenary group. 】

Ai Wanxin tilted her head in confusion when she saw the name of the mercenary group: "The team you are talking about, is it the team of the 'Blue Fox' mercenary group?"

Scenic Spot nodded: "Didn't I say that?"

"...No, so the Speaker's people are right next to me?" Ai Wanxin said blankly.

Jing Qi asked, "What Speaker, sister?"

"Don't you know who 'Blue Fox' works for?" Ai Wanxin wondered.

Jing shook his head in confusion: "I don't know. The captain takes the tasks and we are only responsible for doing the work."

Tuoba Qiong said coldly: "He is indeed an idiot."

"Forget it." Seeing that the two were about to quarrel again, Ai Wanxin quickly changed the subject. She closed Jing's page, clicked on her own photo, and said, "Look at mine."

Qiong and Jing immediately leaned over, and three pairs of eyes fell on the words on the screen:

[Ai Wanxin, 26 years old, female, Fire Sentinel, Level: Super SP Level.]

[Reward: 100 ton of gold. ]

[Tips: The spirit body can fly and has weapons that can restrain the sentinel's abilities. It is recommended to outwit or surround and kill it. ]

[The only weakness: extremely fond of men. ]
