The mascot of the wishing shop is a cat.

The sky was cloudless, with only a few crows flying by. In the open space of the now-safe camp, there were about twenty or thirty people, all of whom were law enforcement combat personnel.

The only vehicle on the open ground was a dark blue bus, bearing the emblem of law enforcement—a black concentric circle background with a dark blue inverted triangle above it, adorned with gold threads. The emblems for different departments varied slightly, but this was the most basic emblem.

For example, the emblem of an elite squad like Lingye is unique. Lingye's team emblem has a golden four-pointed star at the top, surrounded by red flames.

People were getting off the bus one after another. Judging from their uniforms, they should all be logistics personnel, because their team badges had a white bow tie with blue stripes printed on the top, which is the team badge of the logistics unit.

"Everyone! Combat personnel who are leaving the team for rest today, please assemble here. We will conduct individual checks next time, and after that, you can go home for your leave."

A logistics staff member wearing a conspicuous white uniform stood on a small platform and shouted to the crowd through a small megaphone.

As soon as the voice was heard, the previously chaotic crowd quickly and orderly gathered towards the staff, and within just two minutes, everyone was in position.

Therefore, Lin Xiyue, who stood there blankly without moving, holding a dog and a cat, and pulling a large suitcase, seemed particularly out of place. She looked like a traveler who had accidentally wandered into an army training camp.

"Huh? Ma'am, have you come to the wrong place?"

The staff member in the white uniform saw Lin Xiyue and asked with some confusion.

"Ah, oh. I was told to come here to gather; I'm in the first batch to go home."

Lin Xiyue was a little reserved, mainly because the sight of twenty or thirty pairs of eyes staring at her made her feel incredibly pressured.

"Oh? May I ask your name? Let me see the list."

The staff were also very polite in asking Lin Xiyue's name, since most of those who knew they were gathering here had been notified.

"Ah, my name is Lin Xiyue."

Lin Xiyue answered seriously.

"Shh-"

Upon hearing Lin Xiyue say her name, the twenty or thirty people who were originally standing in front of her immediately parted their lines to make way for her.

"Huh? What, what's going on?! (?Д?)ノ"

Lin Xiyue was dumbfounded; this was the first time she, as an ordinary citizen, had encountered such a situation.

Seriously, isn't this the treatment reserved for leaders? When did it become my turn?

[Prisoners also do it.]

As Lin Xiyue was internally venting to ease her tension, the system suddenly spoke, interrupting her rant.

[！！！！！！]

[You're so mean! You suddenly spoke up and then criticized me!]

Lin Xiyue was startled by the system and almost cried out.

"Miss Lin, please come up here. :D"

The staff member in white spoke up, inviting Lin Xiyue to come up to the stage.

"Huh? Me? Me?"

Lin Xiyue panicked even more.

"Yes, please come up here for a moment, thank you. :D"

The staff member in white invited him again, smiling even more sincerely.

"Uh, okay, okay. (⊙o⊙)..."

Lin Xiyue slowly walked towards the platform, but since the distance wasn't long, she arrived on it after five minutes. No one rushed her; the thirty-odd people just watched her dawdling along.

Although Lin Xiyue was very unwilling, Earl was very happy. He walked ahead of Lin Xiyue with his head held high and his steps were deliberate and hesitant, looking as if he were reviewing a military parade.

Okay, let's do it now—

After Lin Xiyue stepped onto the platform, the staff member in white gave a drawn-out hint.

"Snapped--"

"Clap--"

"..."

The thirty-odd people below all pulled out those hand-operated fireworks from their bags, pulled them towards Lin Xiyue, and colorful confetti sprayed into the sky. At that moment, there was a joyful feeling, as if some lively event was taking place.

"Huh? What, what's going on?"

Lin Xiyue was even more dumbfounded. What was going on? Was this some kind of prank?

"Miss Lin! This celebration is to thank you for your help during the battle. Do you like it?!?(?＞?＜?)?"

The medical worker then explained it to Lin Xiyue.

"Huh? Oh! I like it! I like it! ヽ(。_°)ノ"

Lin Xiyue said she liked it through gritted teeth.

"May I ask who came up with this idea? ⊙0⊙"

Lin Xiyue felt that if she didn't find the person and get revenge, she wouldn't have opened the shop!

"Ah, it's Lord Lingyan. He said you like the feeling of being the center of attention, and this was even his suggestion. (?*?*?)"

The medical worker happily told Lin Xiyue who was behind it all.

"Great, great! Absolutely great! (??д??)"

Lin Xiyue was furious.

Lingyan is definitely getting revenge! He's getting revenge for seeing that TV series he loves, the one about seven babies in one pregnancy or something! What kind of karma is this, where the heavens punish everyone?!

I'll curse him with bad luck when I get back!!! (▼he▼メ)

"Let's get ready to go back. I checked the time, and it's almost time. We don't want to keep everyone from having a holiday. (?_?)ノ"

Lin Xiyue began to change the subject, also wanting to leave this place as soon as possible.

After all, when they started making ribbons, the crowd from the newly arrived logistics staff also looked over. If they were to send someone over to ask questions, Lin Xiyue felt she might as well just die on the spot.

"Oh, right. Let's go then. Each person only needs to pass through this inspection gate once."

Upon hearing this, the staff member in white quickly took out a small square box, placed it on the ground, and pressed the button in the middle. The box then automatically unfolded and transformed into a technologically advanced door that shone with blue light.

Lin Xiyue was in the closest position to the staff in white, so it was natural for her to go first.

Lin Xiyue held the cat and pulled the dog along, while the dog dragged the suitcase, and they quickly passed through security.

The security gate flashed a faint green light as she passed through, but it quickly went out, and no one except the staff member in white noticed it.

Soon, all thirty-odd people had passed through security and boarded the dark blue bus that had gotten off earlier.

Once everyone was seated, the bus automatically drove out of the slum.

This was a relaxation time after a safe mission, so the law enforcement officers in the vehicle were all fast asleep.
