Sharon walked in front. She was wearing a smart British-style dress, her long chestnut hair was tied up, and she was holding a rifle in her hand. She looked extremely alert.

"Go this way."

Stopping at the fork in the road again, Sharon looked again and decided which way to go in just half a second.

"You have a good ability to recognize the road." Xiawolei glanced at the rifle in Sharon's hand. This was a weapon unique to Fontaine. Obviously, the rifle in Sharon's hand did not have a factory number and was a private product.

Sharon did not feel guilty in front of the captain of the special patrol team. She nodded generously and said, "Yes, my ability to recognize the road is unique in Hearth House. However, in my spare time, I like Miss Charlotte's reports very much. Steven and others often say that if I had not come to Hearth House, I would probably follow in your footsteps and go to Steambird News to become a reporter."

Sharon's love for Charlotte was simply to the core. She looked at the reporter eagerly. Charlotte's green eyes flashed with shyness. Her cheeks blushed slightly. She was surprised by this love: "Thank you for your love, Miss Sharon. But I also have a lot of room for improvement... You can write a letter for us. The Steambird Newspaper will not refuse any reader's suggestions and love."

Sharon's face suddenly turned red, and she nodded shyly, like an embarrassed little girl after meeting her idol.

Suddenly, a faint voice came from behind, and Sharon's expression suddenly became serious. She tilted her head to listen carefully, and quickly said: "Five people are walking in our direction. We can't go back, this is the only correct way."

After thinking for a few seconds, Xia Wulei nodded and said, "Given the vigilance of the crows, it would be strange if we didn't have bodyguards along the way. Now it's normal."

"So our mission is to eliminate them all without alerting the other bodyguards?" Charlotte poked her head out from behind Xiawolei and asked in a low voice.

"There are four of us and you one?" Xia Wore looked at Sharon. She didn't have the Eye of God, and she was not good at fighting.

Sharon nodded slightly, and she listened again: "They are coming soon."

Xia Volei took a few steps back and hid herself in the shadows. A red light flashed in her hand, and a more exquisitely crafted and beautiful rifle appeared in her hand.

Charlotte took a deep breath. As a reporter who often went to dangerous places, she still had the most basic fighting skills and divine eyes. She raised the camera, adjusted the focus, and could already see the figures of five people in the lens.

After pressing the shutter, the ice element condensed in the camera in Charlotte's hand. The next second, accompanied by five extremely rapid gunshots, the water bottles hanging on the waists of several people were shot out, splashing water all over the security personnel.

Before they could shout that someone was intruding, there was a loud "crack" and the ice element suddenly erupted. The water froze and froze them briefly.

Taking advantage of this time, Xia Wole threw down the rifle with her backhand, and the rifle turned into specks of light and dissipated in the air. She then rushed towards the frozen people like a sharp blade.

To Xiawolei's surprise, Sharon was able to keep up with her speed.

Xia Wole was like a nimble butterfly. She bypassed the first security guard and chopped the remaining four people on the neck one by one with her hands. The people who had their eyes wide open fell to the ground in an instant and lost consciousness.

Xiawolei breathed a sigh of relief. As soon as she turned around, she heard Charlotte shout, "Sharon!"

Sharon paused, but did not stop.

She had a knife in her hand and was about to cut the man's neck.

Xia Wole's pupils suddenly shrank, and a hint of coldness flashed across her purple eyes.

Strictly speaking, this Sharon is the servant's summoned creature. When the summoned creature kills someone, when she returns to Teyvat, those memories will flow back to the servant.

So what's the difference between this and her killing someone with her own hands?

At the moment when the blade was about to cut the man's neck, Xia Wulei knocked the man unconscious and grabbed the blade.

The sharp blade pierced into Xiawolei's palm, and bright red blood dripped onto the ground along the blade.

Xiawolei's expression was serious: "You can't kill anyone."

Sharon frowned in confusion. The Hearth House had its own way of doing things. "Why can't we just kill them? If they wake up, we'll be the ones in danger."

"That's what criminals do. We are not criminals." Xiawolei said word by word.

In this world, laws can do many things, but they can also not do many things. Xia Wore had thought countless times about using the simplest method, killing the people who caused trouble, so that she could save a lot of trouble.

But she couldn't. Performing her duties conscientiously and abiding by her own justice was what made Xia Volei, a person who relied on herself step by step to become the captain of the special patrol team.

Sharon stared into Xiawolei's eyes for a few seconds, then she took two steps back as if in compromise, and her kind smile disappeared completely. She watched expressionlessly as Xiawolei and Charlotte dragged these people aside, clearing a path.

"The Hearth House's approach is to root out the evil at its roots. Any leniency will bring unpredictable harm to our family." Sharon said, "Perhaps in your opinion, the Hearth House is a paradise for criminals?"

She looked at Xiawolei half-jokingly and stretched out her hands: "How about it? Do you want to take me down, take down the 'criminal' who almost killed someone in front of you?"

Charlotte shook her head in disapproval: "Sharon, you are not a criminal. At least, you are not a pure criminal."

"Differences in living environment and world views." Xiawolei suddenly spoke. Her purple eyes did not contain any extra emotions. Sometimes Sharon even felt that she was like a puppet.

"First, arresting you would cause diplomatic problems for Zhidong and Fontaine, which is too troublesome. Second, you didn't kill anyone in front of me, and I stopped you. Third, this is your way of survival. I will only arrest real criminals."

Sharon was stunned. She didn't expect that the captain of the special patrol team, who was known for his ruthlessness and impartiality, would give such an answer.

As if she could see Sharon's confusion, Xiawolei took a deep breath and looked at this woman. She had her own thoughts, her own experiences, her own companions, her own ideas and persistence. She was like a living human being.

Are these people really just NPCs created by the system? If so, why are they so real?

"My predecessor once said to me, 'Adjust your philosophy, Xiawolei. If your understanding of justice is just an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth, then you'd better leave here. This is not a lynching ground, but a place for justice.' I am a law enforcer, not someone who judges justice with my own judgment, that's all."
