"Later, this City of Angels came into being." The city lord gazed out the door and sighed wistfully, like an old man in his twilight years.

Qin Baobao took in his expressions and movements. Although the city lord's story was very vivid, something felt off. Before she could figure out what was wrong, an announcement came from outside the door.

"Lord, Captain Karin has arrived."

A burly young man with brown hair and blue eyes walked in. His striking blue eyes were like a drawn sword, sending chills down the spines of those who saw them.

"Lord of the City, Goddess." Kalin gave the two a half bow as a sign of respect.

Qin Baobao only arrived yesterday and briefly demonstrated her abilities at the City Lord's Mansion. This Captain Kalin is certainly well-informed.

"The goddess just told me that someone died in their own home last night. I'm entrusting this matter to you; you must investigate it thoroughly."

"Yes, I will certainly live up to the city lord's expectations." Captain Karin bowed again and left.

Qin Baobao bid farewell to the city lord and returned to her small courtyard.

"Have you heard? Another person died last night." The voice was extremely shrill.

"Shh! Are you out of your mind? That person was killed by the devil."

"Why doesn't the devil kill that jinx? Letting him live in this city is a waste of air."

"Maybe the devil was summoned by him. Don't gossip here, or the goddess might hear you."

The man lowered his voice, "I'm saying this for the goddess to hear, otherwise why would I be so loud? I just saw the goddess return. If I speak louder, maybe the goddess will rid us of these two calamities."

They thought they were speaking in a low voice so Qin Baobao couldn't hear them. Actually, Qin Baobao was only separated from them by a wall and heard everything they said clearly.

Qin Baobao moved a recliner over and sat in the yard listening to them gossip.

"I've been talking for so long, my mouth is dry. Did the goddess hear me at all?"

"Let's go. How can we order around a goddess like this?"

"Let's go, let's go!" she shouted until her voice was hoarse, but the one inside didn't move an inch. Even a mute would come out to check. The little maid stomped her foot in frustration and pulled her friend away. Only the anthill on the ground remained, trembling twice.

Not long after, Arthur and his mother returned.

“This city is truly magical, with all sorts of stories passed down through generations. Let me tell you about them slowly.” As soon as Arthur saw Qin Baobao, he started talking non-stop.

Arthur's mother tugged at him and gestured with her eyes for them to go inside to talk.

The three people went into the house and exchanged the information they knew.

"It's strange, everyone in this city moved here within the last ten years. They either died in the city or suddenly disappeared."

"We asked around, and it seems that most of the missing people are girls and children." The group's expressions were solemn. They faced vampires and death every day, which made them even more concerned about children and the continuation of life.

"How long has the city lord stayed in this city?"

"I don't know, are you doubting the city lord?"

Qin Baobao nodded. "What information have you found out about angels?"

"There's very little information. I've only heard that an angel is trapped in this city."

"The city lord knows so much, it's like..."

It was as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Qin Baobao's eyes widened as an incredible idea flashed through her mind.

"Do you think the city lord might be the angel imprisoned here?"

"Impossible, right? An angel looks like that?" Arthur's lips twitched. In the common perception of humans, angels are handsome and tall, and are the darlings of heaven. This city lord's appearance is somewhat disappointing to the general public.

If someone told him they were an angel, he might believe it. But if that person was the city lord, forget it!

Qin Baobao sensed Arthur's unspoken contempt.

"System, come out for a moment," Qin Baobao communicated with the system in her mind.

"Host, what's up? *smack smack*"

This little system is hopeless; it's eating all the time.

"Was that city lord from yesterday a prodigy?"

"Smack smack, I didn't notice."

"The city lord said there are two angels. Should I save one or both?"

"I don't know!" Those familiar lines, that familiar tone. Sure enough, the little system had never disappointed him.

"Go and take a walk around the city, see who the chosen one is, and tell me when you find him. Now, immediately!"

The little system sensed its host's anger and, without a moment's delay, immediately flew out.

Host, you're a bit scary!

"If the city lord isn't an angel, why does he know so much?"

"Starting today, everyone keep an eye on the city lord's whereabouts. No need to pay special attention, safety first. If necessary, have the little system follow him." Qin Baobao inadvertently blurted out what was on her mind.

"Who is the mini-system?"

"Little System is the name I gave to that little white bird." Qin Baobao forced a smile, revealing an awkward grin.

Arthur, seeing her expression that was both crying and laughing, played along perfectly.

“It’s quite special.”

Qin Baobao breathed a sigh of relief; she had gotten away with it.

Watching the interaction between the two, Arthur's mother revealed a mysterious smile.

When the small system returned, it couldn't find the luck factor and received a new order: to monitor the city lord.

"I've already checked. The city lord isn't a chosen one at all. Host, we're here to do a mission, not some trivial thing." The little system's voice was very serious.

"Have you found the lucky one?"

"This, this... not yet." The little system's voice became hesitant and stammering when the topic of Qi Yun Zi came up, clearly lacking confidence.

"You need to understand, we're here to do a mission. All you do all day is eat, and you can't even find any luck points. How am I supposed to do the mission if you're like this?" The little system felt ashamed, its bird head almost drooping to the ground.

Qin Baobao suddenly softened her tone and began to coax her. "In modern society, I can find it myself, but here, finding a lucky child is like finding a needle in a haystack. I can only rely on you. System, don't let me down!"

Hearing that it was entrusted with such high expectations, the little system immediately puffed out its chest. The whole bird, proud and spirited, like a warrior about to go to battle, spread its wings and flew away.

"Host, don't worry! I'll definitely follow him even when he goes to the toilet."

Qin Baobao was speechless for a moment. This... was really unnecessary.

As the sun sets in the west, night falls.

Qin Baobao, along with Arthur and Arthur's mother, was hunting vampires in the surrounding area. Suddenly, a sharp cry from the little system echoed in her mind, filled with terror.

"Ahhh, oh my god! You scared me to death! Host, come back quickly."

"System, don't panic, what's wrong?" Although Qin Baobao disliked the system's low intelligence, she was still very nervous when she heard that something had happened to it. After traveling through so many worlds, they had long since become inseparable family.

"Dead people, so many dead people! Host, please come back!"

"Okay, I'll be right back. If you're scared, just hide." Qin Baobao recalled the Azure Rainbow Sword and immediately flew back on her flying magical artifact.
