A passing traveler through the heavens

"Ding!"

"Name: Amei"

"Rating 95"

“Favorability 40”

"Number of times 0"

Then, with a smile, the count began to introduce his beloved daughter, Amei, to Ji Lin in detail. Amei was the count's affectionate nickname for his daughter.

After the introductions were finished, the count's expression turned serious, and he solemnly discussed this crucial bodyguard mission with Ji Lin.

It turns out that the count's daughter was not going on an adventure alone, but was traveling with two men.

One of the men had a resounding nickname – Asian Eagle, while the other was named Alan. Their destination turned out to be the lair of a vicious cult terrorist group.

The goal is not only to help Allen rescue his imprisoned girlfriend, but also to try to reclaim all of God's Armor.

When Ji Lin heard the words "God's Armed Forces," he suddenly realized what he was in—it was a scene from the classic film "Armour of God"!

Following that, the Earl gave a detailed explanation of the mission and then personally led Ji Lin to meet the two men.

Before long, they arrived at the door of a guest room, and the count raised his hand and gently knocked on the door.

A series of light footsteps approached from inside the house. Soon, the door slowly opened, and the first thing that caught Ji Lin's eye was a large, prominent nose.

Before Ji Lin could react, the man with the big nose called out Ji Lin's name first.

When Ji Lin was finally able to clearly see the face of the big-nosed man, he was greatly surprised, because the person standing in front of him was Meng Bo, whom he had met before!

He couldn't help but tease, "Hey, isn't this private investigator Meng Bo? When did you get such a catchy nickname as 'Asian Flying Eagle'?"

Meng Bo chuckled, revealing a set of bright white teeth, and replied smugly, "Haha, when you're out in the world, if you don't have a few undercover agents, you'll get hacked to death!"

"'Asian Flying Eagle Jiqi' is just one of my many pseudonyms. By the way, how did you end up here?" Meng Bo said, looking at Ji Lin curiously.

Ji Lin raised his hand and pointed to the count not far away, explaining, "Look, I took on the mission of protecting this count's daughter, so I came here."

The count was initially a little worried, but seeing how familiar they were with each other, a joyful smile immediately spread across his face.

Upon hearing this, Meng Bo nodded in understanding.

Then, as if remembering something, he burst into a hearty and loud laugh.

He had personally witnessed Ji Lin's astonishing combat prowess on the Fugui Maru, and now that he knew Ji Lin would be carrying out the mission with him, he was naturally overjoyed, feeling as if he had been given wings.

At this moment, Ji Lin suddenly remembered Hui Xiang, the beautiful and capable woman beside Meng Bo, and casually asked, "Hey, why isn't Hui Xiang with you?"

Meng Bo scratched his head and replied with a smile, "Oh, her? I sent her to handle some private investigation matters, so she's not with me for the time being."

At this moment, everyone has arrived.

Immediately afterwards, Ji Lin and his entourage boarded the vehicle specially arranged by the Earl and finally arrived at an airport.

On the tarmac, a luxurious private jet belonging to the Earl was quietly parked.

Stepping inside the plane, a graceful flight attendant greeted him with a smile and softly asked Ji Lin if he would like something to drink to relieve the fatigue of the journey.

After a moment's thought, Ji Lin ordered a glass of mellow whiskey.

After taking the wine glass, he casually found a comfortable spot to sit down and began to slowly savor the unique flavor of the wine.

Throughout the flight, Ji Lin did not have much interaction with Meng Bo or his other companions.

He silently finished the rest of his whiskey, then gently closed his eyes, leaned back in his chair, and entered a semi-conscious state.

After an unknown amount of time, a slight turbulence woke Ji Lin from his light sleep. The plane had landed smoothly at a busy airport in Europe.

After the plane came to a complete stop, the cabin door slowly opened, and the count's men, who had been waiting there, quickly came forward and led them to a secluded manor.

This manor was an idle estate owned by the count. Upon arriving at the manor, Ji Lin couldn't help but curse inwardly, "What a filthy rich man..."

After Ji Lin and the others were settled, they could rest here for a while and wait for all the equipment and supplies to be prepared.

Once everything is ready, they will immediately set off for the address provided by the cult terrorists.

As night fell, Ji Lin's gaze fell upon the exquisite piano in the corner of the room.

Ji Lin slowly walked to the piano, gently lifted the lid, and his fingers landed lightly on the black and white keys like nimble butterflies.

Instantly, beautiful and melodious notes poured from his fingertips like flowing water, filling the entire guest room.

The beautiful melody seemed to possess a magical power, penetrating the walls and doors, and quietly drifting into the master bedroom next door.

At that moment, Amei, who was resting on the bed in the master bedroom, was awakened by the sudden sound of piano music.

She listened intently, captivated by the melodious tune. Curiosity compelled her to get out of bed and follow the sound.

Before long, Amei arrived at Ji Lin's door.

A soft knock on the door interrupted Ji Lin's reverie, which was lost in the music.

He stopped what he was doing, stood up and walked to the door. As the door slowly opened, he saw Amei with a face full of curiosity and surprise.

"Officer Ji, did you play the piano just now? It was so beautiful!" Amei couldn't hide her excitement, her eyes sparkling with admiration.

Ji Lin smiled slightly and said modestly, "You're too kind, Amei. It's just a little skill that's not worth mentioning. If you don't mind, you can just call me Alin, or Brother Lin is fine too."

"Since you enjoy listening to piano music, I'll play a few more for you."

After saying that, he stepped aside to invite Amei into the house, then sat back down at the piano, ready to play those moving pieces again.

After playing another piece, Amei smiled and invited Ji Lin to go out for a stroll together.

Ji Lin readily agreed without hesitation.

The two walked side by side, chatting and laughing, creating a very harmonious atmosphere.

Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the manor's collection room. Ji Lin stepped inside and was instantly stunned by the sight before him—it was practically a massive museum!

The dazzling array of collectibles is displayed on the shelves and around the walls, making it difficult for visitors to take their eyes off the exhibits.

However, just as he was engrossed in these exquisite collections, he suddenly caught a glimpse of a secluded corner out of the corner of his eye. There, some seemingly inconspicuous items were displayed, but they aroused his great interest.

They are actually the animal heads of the twelve zodiac animals!

Although Ji Lin couldn't see which zodiac animals were clearly visible due to the distance, this fleeting glimpse was enough to make his heart race and fill him with excitement.

However, Ji Lin knew he couldn't appear too excited at this moment, lest he attract Amei's attention.

So he pretended to be calm and continued to stroll around the collection room with Amei as if nothing had happened, occasionally stealing glances at that corner.

After wandering around for a while, Ji Lin casually mentioned that there was still a long journey ahead the next day, and expressed his desire to go back early to rest and recharge.

After listening, Amei nodded understandingly, indicating her agreement. And so, the two concluded their visit and returned to their respective rooms.

Upon returning to his room, Ji Lin immediately closed the door and summoned the Shadow Legion.

He whispered the order, instructing the Shadow Legion to quietly infiltrate the collection room and retrieve the twelve zodiac animal heads. The Shadow Legion obeyed, their movements swift and silent.

Before long, the Shadow Legion returned successfully after completing their mission. Ji Lin eagerly took the beast head and examined it carefully.

After some scrutiny, he finally recognized the two animal heads: one was an exquisitely crafted ram's head, and the other was a lifelike rat's head.

Looking at the two precious artifacts in his hands, Ji Lin was overjoyed and thought to himself, "I never expected that being a bodyguard would bring such an unexpected surprise!"

Without the slightest hesitation, Ji Lin decisively stored the two beast heads in his system space for safekeeping…
