Ark, after I died, the operators started to love me.

When he woke up, a full day and night had passed.

"I never thought it would be this big. Fortunately, all the problems have been solved. This time it's an exception, so we can finally have some peace and quiet for a while."

Despite his muscle aches, Mike struggled to his feet and staggered into the bathroom. Only when the hot water washed over his exhausted body did he feel a little better.

The evil spirits were neutralized, and the biggest threat was gone. As for what was happening outside, he didn't want to care or know.

After showering and changing into dry clothes, Mike threw the pile of dirty clothes into the washing machine on the balcony, turned on the wash cycle, and only then did he have time to pick up his phone.

Unsurprisingly, it was another pile of information.

Lin Yuxia: Where are you? I'm at Kagura Tea House, leisurely enjoying tea.

Texas: Quitting smoking is really tough.

Hoshiguma: Your secret has been exposed.

Mike's fingers trembled involuntarily, and he subconsciously blocked Hoshiguma.

What do you mean by "his incident has come to light"?

Mike, who considered himself a law-abiding citizen, quickly removed Star Sir from the blacklist again.

Lin Yuxia's side is easy to deal with; she can have tea, and nothing unexpected will happen.

Texas quit smoking, which might have been because he said the smell of cigarettes was too unpleasant.

A few minutes later.

Mike held a packet of instant noodles, and after thinking about it carefully, he felt something was wrong. He had done such a big thing, and in the end, he was stuck at home eating instant noodles. No matter how he thought about it, he felt he had let himself down.

"Never mind, I'm going out to eat today."

The man put on his coat, digital watch, and glasses, and hurried out the door.

It was afternoon, the sun was shining brightly, and the tense atmosphere on the outer ring of Longmen had eased considerably, making Mike's steps lighter.

"One scallion pancake, please."

While waiting for his scallion pancake, Mike texted Texas to report his location. He ate and waited for a little over ten minutes when a black van pulled up in front of him. The window rolled down, revealing the Rupert's indifferent face.

Mike waved, momentarily at a loss for how to greet him, and could only say, "Long time no see."

Texas stared at him for several seconds before finally uttering, "Two days."

Mike didn't care about any of that. He opened the car door, sat in the passenger seat, and casually asked, "Where to?"

"do not know."

"Then take me for a spin around the Dragon Gate."

The Rupert did not answer, but demonstrated her willingness through her actions.

The van sped along the ring road, the wind rushing in through the windows and dispelling Mike's worries.

He still couldn't understand what the guard meant by "They're coming" before he died.

Did you handle the incident on the outer ring road?

"Yeah, Kal'tsit's here. I can't not go even if I don't want to. Why are you asking this all of a sudden?"

Texas paused for a few seconds before replying briefly, "Dr. Kal'tsit has been arrested by the Guard Bureau, and they are currently gathering evidence to prosecute her."

Mike blinked and, through the rearview mirror, caught Texas trying to suppress a laugh. He couldn't help but chuckle and said, "Laugh if you want to. It was expected."

Do you think Dr. Kal'tsit will go to jail?

"will not."

Mike shook his head and continued, "The lawsuit is real. Rhode Island just needs to pay the bail. Lord Wei has no other choice."

Fortunately, he reacted quickly and threw the guard out, preventing Lungmen from finding fault. Kal'tsit will probably have to spend a few days in jail.

Texas was a skilled driver; he drove off the highway and into a secluded scenic area. Mike was surprised to find a warehouse hidden there, which was probably a secret base of Penguin Logistics.

Are you having a party here?

"No, I've checked, they won't come here."

Texas unbuckled her seatbelt, and Mike, thinking she was about to get out, reached for the door, only to find that the Luper had locked it.

"W-what are you going to do?!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the German dog pounced on him.

Mike was pinned down in the car seat, looking at Texas lying on top of him. Their eyes met, and the atmosphere was intimate.

"I've quit smoking."

The Luper reiterated.

Mike nodded: "I know..."

He was met with two warm, moist lips.

"Quitting smoking is very difficult." Texas raised her head slightly.

So, am I your nicotine gum?

Another passionate, deep kiss.

Lust +20.

Mike reached out and took off his glasses, tossing them aside.

Who cares about your data?

This time, they didn't part until they had both exhausted all the air in their lungs.

Texas said in a low voice, "Miss Lin knows you."

"Yeah, I let her know on purpose, otherwise she would have driven me crazy."

"Before me?"

The Luper's tone was ominous.

Mike's eyes widened. Where did this inexplicable competitive spirit come from?

"I knew it."

Texas sat up, reaching out to tidy her disheveled hair. Just now, the two of them had gotten so carried away that they were about to take off each other's clothes, but thankfully they calmed down at the last moment.

"Now is not the time."

"I think so."

Texas was silent for a few seconds: "Do you regret it?"

Mike nodded: "A little, give me another chance?"

The Rupert man thought about it for a while, feeling a wave of fear, but in the end he still didn't have the courage to take out the little cutie box hidden beside him.

13. Texas wants to win.

Many things happen because of emotions, impulsive actions, and regret afterward.

For example, Texas is already starting to feel afraid.

Mike was completely baffled, thinking that this girl was just like Kal'tsit, unpredictable and moody. Just a moment ago she was passionately kissing him, and the next moment she was angry.

However, Texas had a different thought.

"Would it seem too easy for me to take down the microphone here?"

Impulse is the devil.

If something really happens, then they can only be boyfriend and girlfriend from now on, right?

That's just impulsive.

Texas gritted her teeth and fumbled under her seat to pull out the little cutie she had just bought.

Mike, who was temporarily pinned down by the Lupo, was stunned when he saw this scene.

We're progressing so fast?!

Didn't you bring me out to play today?!

I'm getting off the car even though the doors are locked!

"Texas, calm down. Don't you think the space is too cramped this time?"

"enough."

"Our first time should have involved a lot of preparation and memorable moments. This is too sudden, and I'm not mentally prepared."

"I'm ready."

Gan.

The Lupo man had no intention of listening to him at all, adopting a domineering attitude.

Mike knew he had to do something, or he was doomed.

Indeed, the adult world is all about impulse.

Back in Rhodes Island, the fierce female operators held each other back, and Kal'tsit's suppression gave Mike a chance to survive. Now, belatedly realizing this, he can't help but sigh how lucky he was not to have been completely devoured back then.

Texas is now ready to devour him.

Men need to protect themselves when they're out.

Must escape.

Mike struggled to press the watch, and his body suddenly shrank to the size of the Doctor. The Lupo sitting on his waist lost his balance and fell on top of him, their foreheads touching, and they both let out a scream.

"what are you doing?"

"I didn't do anything."

Texas was about to say a few more words of rebuke, but she suddenly realized that the man in front of her had changed.

The strong, handsome Mike has shrunk into the thin, gloomy young man, Dr. Ann.

The Luper woman incredulously pinched Dr. Ann's cheek with her fingers; the skin was firm and warm, rather than her perception being distorted.
