A Knight's Journey Begins in Faiz

It's coming. Jiang Yang held his breath and stared intently. He was ready. This time, no matter what funny things happened, he wouldn't laugh. Now he was a professional.

Then he heard the following conversation.

Are you interested in fighting?

"Yes, we do have it."

"is it?"

Receiving a positive answer made the person who asked the question somewhat happy.

"But I'm not going to try."

Why, don't you want to give it a try?

"Because I have no talent for fighting, my reaction is slow, and my awareness is poor. To put it bluntly, I don't know how to fight."

"Hahaha, are you bad at reading comprehension?"

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Because, when I asked you whether you wanted to, you answered whether you would."

"But when it comes to fighting, they don't even have the basic combat awareness..."

"There will always be a solution to that kind of thing."

"This won't do. Fighting isn't something to be taken lightly."

"You're right, battles aren't random. No one is omnipotent; nobody starts out knowing everything. Ultimately, there's no point in only choosing what you're good at from the beginning! The important thing is whether you're interested and want to do it!"

Jiang Yang remained silent until the sound faded into the distance, at which point he sighed.

"The important thing is whether you want to or not, really. Sigh, I didn't expect them to change me. From diving to combat, huh? I'm sorry to have troubled you."

After saying that, Jiang Yang felt much more relaxed.

The conversation just now was quite good; the important thing is not whether you can do it, but whether you want to.

I do lack combat talent, but I know I can make up for it with hard work. And I have been working hard at it.

Incidentally, Jiang Yang doesn't like drinking alcohol, nor does he like combustible water or combustible oolong tea.

"Alright, we've rested enough, it's time to get back to the investigation."

However, it turns out that not all efforts are rewarded.

Even with the help of Keitaro, who brought along Takumi and Mari, they still couldn't find any useful information.

Ultimately, the other party is an Orphnoch, the kind that leaves no trace. When they come and leave, they clean everything up, so there's no trace left.

If there's nothing there, how can we investigate?

They had originally planned to patrol the area that night to see if they could find anything, but they were forced to stop the investigation because a passing policeman noticed them and questioned them one by one.

Although nothing serious happened, I was still asked to leave that area.

I heard that some kind of serial killer has fled to this area, and the police are currently searching for him.

Jiang Yang had absolutely no recollection of this serial killer; he didn't remember such a part in the original storyline.

There was nothing they could do; the police had already told them to go home, and they couldn't exactly go against the police.

As for the serial killer, since the police have tracked him down, it's highly unlikely to be an Orphnoch. After all, the AI ​​group is always behind every Orphnoch-related case. The police have no chance of finding anything useful.

This time, they've almost surrounded the area; it's 99% likely a regular criminal case that doesn't involve Orphnoch.

That's what they say, but in reality, the difference isn't that big. A serial killer doesn't kill many fewer people than an Orphnoch.

However, let's leave professional matters to professionals. When it comes to catching fugitives, the police are professionals.

Since it was getting late and the others had come to help him, he felt bad about letting everyone go home, so he offered to treat them to a barbecue buffet.

Actually, during the investigation, he encountered a family who gave him a bunch of coupons. By using the coupons, he could not only get discounts when dining at the restaurant, but also receive free gifts.

Let me state this beforehand: Jiang Yang isn't the kind of person who likes to take advantage of others; he just doesn't want to waste the kindness of well-meaning people.

To be honest, this all-you-can-eat barbecue is cheap, but the quality of the meat isn't exactly top-notch. However, hygiene is definitely not an issue. Besides, you're already eating at an all-you-can-eat barbecue, especially a discounted one, so what more could you ask for!

Interestingly, because Qiao has a cat-like tongue and is afraid of getting burned, he initially refused to eat. It seems he had a past experience of eating grilled meat, only to find that by the time he blew on one piece to cool it down, the rest had already been devoured by others.

But in practice, there were no problems at all. Each person placed their own grilled meat in front of them, and no one fought over it.

After the barbecue, Jiang Yang seemed to see the notifications above the heads of the three of them indicating an increase in their favorability.

Actually, everyone's standard of living is quite good. If it weren't for accidentally ruining a few pieces of clothing and losing some money, Zhenli would have gone to become an apprentice and bought some beauty tools.

If Keitaro has been on a date with Yuka and bought a lot of things recently, then everyone's life should be a little better.

Simply put, the income is not enough to cover the expenses.

The current situation is that Keitaro is supporting three people all by himself.

Fortunately, Qiao became more and more skilled at washing clothes, Zhenli's side also started to get on track, and Jiang Yang's last client's fee was settled.

The four of them walked back.

Jiang Yang hesitated to take out the War Lion, also because he was worried about the dangers they might encounter on their way back.

After all, the Faiz belt is no longer in their hands, and if they encounter the Orphnoch, it could be quite troublesome.

So I'll still give it to you.

What? You're asking about Keitaro's car?

This guy's car broke down after he delivered clothes this afternoon, and it's still being repaired.

This made things even worse for the already struggling family.

On the way, out of boredom, the group started chatting. Jiang Yang didn't ask them to keep it a secret from him about knowing that Faiz was a coincidence, since it wasn't something that needed to be hidden anyway.

It's actually better to talk things out and get closer to each other.

They hadn't walked for long when suddenly a motorcycle appeared in front of them. They were absolutely certain that it was Faiz's motorcycle.

"skillful…"

Keitaro turned his head to see Takumi's reaction, only to find that Takumi had already started running towards the direction the motorcycle had gone.

"My goodness, I'm chasing a motorcycle? Really?"

As a result, naturally, they failed to catch up.

"Skilled, as expected, you still..."

Before Keitaro could finish speaking, he was about to ask Takumi if he couldn't let go of Faiz, but he was interrupted as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Catch the thief!"

A loud shout, followed by a woman's shrill cry.

Upon hearing this, the group exchanged glances and immediately headed in the direction from which the sound came.

After running past an intersection, they saw a man wearing a hood jump over the wall. Without saying a word, Keitaro rushed over, and Takumi followed closely behind. Jiang Yang glanced at Shin, who was running out of breath, and then chased after him as well.

Leaving behind the truth that can barely run anymore.

"You guys, wait a minute, wait for me."

During the chase, Jiang Yang started the slowest, but quickly overtook Qi Taro in front. After all, with more than twice the physical strength of an average person, he still had that speed.
