After being fired from the diamond squid, I became a sea patrol ranger.

Liu Ying glared at the girl on her right, her arm snaked through the gap between her and Xing's bodies, grabbed Xing's hand, and pulled her outward.

Unfortunately, she wasn't strong enough to pull it.

"Damn it! You're asking for trouble!"

The fireflies were in a frenzy. On the high platform, their left hand, covered by a mecha, revealed a cannon in their palm. The cannon roared and burst into flames.

boom!

Orange flames surged and engulfed the girl on the left. The firefly swung its left arm, creating a surge of heat that swept towards the girl on the right.

Wow!

Flames spread, stirring up gray mist, and tiny blue specks of light rose towards the ceiling like fireflies.

As the firefly lowered its arm, the flames vanished, revealing an empty ground where the girl was nowhere to be seen.

"It's okay, I'm here."

Liu Ying gazed at the stars, her fierceness fading, replaced by tenderness in the depths of her eyes.

Two girls suddenly appeared out of nowhere.

Let's play together!

The girl chuckled softly and moved with cat-like steps, inching closer to the two of them.

Both the firefly and the star changed their expressions.

Are they unkillable?

Liu Ying muttered to herself.

Normally, she would have charged in alone.

But now, with Xing still by her side, Liu Ying had no choice but to grit her teeth, grab Xing's wrist, and turn to run away.

"Quickly! We need to get out of here!"

Fireflies shouted, and the red wallpaper flashed by like a train. Gradually, the wallpaper turned back to dark yellow.

She ran faster and faster, panting heavily, until she crossed the hall and reached the end of the corridor on the other side, where she finally stopped.

"Ugh, so tired! We should be safe now..."

Liu Ying put her hand to her abdomen and exhaled beads of white mist from her mouth. It took her a long time to recover.

Not wearing a mecha... is too tiring.

Liu Ying took a long time to catch her breath before raising her head and straightening her back, only to see Xing staring at her with a light in his eyes, like a puppy.

"Wow! Mecha, a man's romance! And the Star Knight mask. So hot! Doki! Doki!"

Xing puffed out her cheeks, crammed a dozen jokes into one sentence, and leaned close to Liu Ying, tearing off her mask.

A sense of familiarity washed over her, and Liu Ying felt dazed until Xing pulled at her mask, bringing her back to her senses.

She took Xing's hand, gently lowered it as if playing a zither, and then stepped back several steps to create distance between them.

"Oh, you saved me! I want to know who you are!"

Xing's cheeks puffed out more and more.

Seeing Ah Xing angry, Liu Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she instinctively grabbed the mask, trying to pull it off.

However, reason prevailed over her impulse.

"I am actually a hero driven by interest."

Liu Ying responded by raising her fair chin, extending her fingers to gently brush her hair aside, and then opening her palm forward.

Hehe, look at my cool moves...

Liu Ying muttered to herself, turning her gaze, only to see Xing remain unmoved, merely blinking and softly asking:

"So...who exactly are you?"

As she spoke, Xing stretched her neck and took one step at a time, getting closer to Liuying and raising her lips in a smile.

"He's a hero!"

Liu Ying emphasized. Her cheeks flushed slightly, and she took several steps back, but her body was pressed against the wall, with nowhere to retreat.

Oh well... so be it.

Liu Ying sighed softly, waiting for Xing to remove her mask.

However, Xing did not come closer.

The Star Core Spirit blinked, its pupils contracted, and it stared intently at the figure behind Liu Ying, its face turning pale.

Liu Ying was startled and turned around, only to see a white wall behind her, with nothing strange about it.

The next second, she shifted her gaze slightly and saw red liquid overflowing from the top of the white wall, sliding down in strands like noodles.

The fluid accumulated and gradually transformed into waves of blood, crashing down with overwhelming force.

In an instant, blood engulfed the fireflies and stars.

……

Meanwhile, on the streets of Belleburg...

! !

! ! ! ! 1 phosphorus wife tyrant 7 things Wuyi!

Ling Ke spread her hands and slapped them repeatedly against the brown wooden door, causing layers of snow to fall with a rustling sound.

There was no movement behind the door; only the yellow building stood alone on the gray tiles.

Ling tapped the door, silently counting in her mind. After ten seconds, she took another step forward and continued knocking.

! !

!! ……

"Coming! Stop knocking!"

A woman's voice came from behind the door.

Then came the creaking of tables and chairs colliding, followed by the sound of footsteps as the homeowner walked to the door.

"Really, it's the middle of the night. If it's not urgent, you can do it tomorrow morning... Oh? It's Lingbao!"

With a creak, the door opened. A woman wearing round-framed glasses stepped out, her brows furrowed.

The man had dark blue hair and wore a black beret.

Strangely, although she was wearing a blue and white military uniform, she was tiny and petite, looking like a little girl at first glance.

"Excuse me! I'm sorry to bother you so late, Pera."

Ling scratched her head and said softly.

"Lingbao, you can come anytime."

Pera twitched the muscles at the corners of her lips and managed a weak smile.

However, Lingke, being emotionally detached, failed to notice Pera's stiffness and, without any hesitation, began to pry open the wooden door and walk straight inside.

She shifted her gaze and noticed that the room was still simply furnished, with only white and light gray colors, and the furniture was neatly stacked like bricks.

Lingke followed Pera through the living room toward the study. She was about to say something when Pera interrupted her:

"I welcome you anytime, but today I'm really busy with something, so I won't talk about your strange adventures in the snowfield."

"not me……"

"The tea leaves are in the same old place; I'll brew them myself."

Pera smiled again, turned around, went into the study, walked to her black desk, and picked up a drawing.

Lingke scanned the desk and noticed that its arrangement was rather strange; it was a mess, piled high with papers and photos.

However, Ling knew that Pera had always loved cleanliness and her house was always spotless. Such a messy state was truly something she had never seen before.

Could it be... that she really encountered some difficulty?

Ling Ke rolled her eyes, but instead of asking any questions, she quietly moved closer to the table to examine the documents.

She saw a photo filled with wooden crates, and through the gaps in the crates, she could vaguely see a little girl.

If that's the case, it's nothing special. However, Lingke noticed that the girl was wearing a badge on her chest that symbolized her identity as the Great Guardian.

Next to the photo was a manuscript with the words "The Fool Hillyl Rand, Appears in the Snowfield" written in large black ink at the top.

The deceased eighth Grand Guardian... If it's true, then it's probably another ghost story.

To be precise, it's the extraterrestrials like the Memories Spa mentioned who really know a lot!

Ling Ke pondered, then shifted her gaze again, focusing on a piece of paper where she saw another article:

One day, I saw an iron gate next to the theater in the administrative district, and behind it stood a strange man.

He grabbed my hand and muttered strange things like, "A monster is nearby," and "Everything is changing."

I ignored it and turned to leave. But the second time I went to the theater, I ran into that man again at the iron gate.

This time, his face flushed red, he gripped the iron gate tightly, shaking it violently, muttering incoherently, "My neighbors, friends, and family have all disappeared!"

I was terrified and ran away. But after calming down, I realized I had overreacted.

Furthermore, if something really happens to the man, as a follower of Cripper, I should do something about it.

The next day, I went to the iron gate again. This time, the man was much quieter and didn't grab the gate.

I breathed a sigh of relief and approached the iron gate, but the man suddenly grabbed my hand, revealing bloodshot eyes.

Chapter 57 Extraterrestrials, Terrifyingly So!

"Please! Open the door for me! I don't want to stay in the alley anymore! I want to get out!" the man cried, releasing his grip.

At that moment, I was genuinely scared, so I turned and ran.

After leaving, I had a second thought and went to find a nearby Silvermane Iron Guard to ask for the key to the iron gate.

"I need to borrow the key to open the iron gate next to the theater."

"An iron gate? What iron gate?" The guard looked puzzled.

"It's the iron gate in the back alley, of course!"

"But there's no back alley near the theater," Tie Wei scratched his head, looking utterly innocent.

[I'm very upset: how can a security guard not even know the roads in his assigned area? I have to file a complaint!]

Thinking about all this, I stormed off, determined to take matters into my own hands and dismantle the iron gate.

I arrived at the theater and took out my hammer and wrench.

The iron gate had vanished.

I looked around, but couldn't see the man. It was as if I was dreaming.

That concludes the report. Ling Ke, ever curious since childhood, treated this document like a supernatural novel, reading it from beginning to end.

After reading it, she put the paper aside, reached out her arm to grab another document underneath, and suddenly felt a jolt in her heart.

Pera... she likes reading novels, but why would she put this thing on her office desk?

In the past, this place should have been used only for storing official documents.

Could it be that?

Lingke turned her head slightly to look at Pera:

"You're not investigating paranormal events, are you? I heard from Sister Hiluva that there have been a lot of strange things happening lately, and the number of missing persons has also increased dramatically."

Pera didn't answer, she just nodded. Her brows were furrowed, her eyes were fixed on the paper, and her fingers were rubbing her temples.

This is... a sign that Pera is under a lot of pressure.

Ling Ke thought for a moment, rolled her eyes, moved closer to Pera, took her hand, and whispered:

"Don't think too much about it. Let's clear our heads. Coincidentally, I just encountered a paranormal event and need the Iron Guard to come out."

"Huh? You encountered a ghost?"
