I am practicing in a weird world

According to his guess, if an official agency like the Night Service Bureau took action, there should be some gains.
“Those who were found to have solid evidence have already been arrested, and the rest are just tough scum.
Some of them are definitely real gang members, but some may be innocent. Before you can identify them, you can't kill them." Lorna Romijn said.
"I saw that the fighting between gangs was very fierce. How did they distinguish between gang members and ordinary people?" Xiao Yi asked.
“They never differentiate; their main targets are not people, but profit-making entities such as companies, in order to disrupt the enemy’s funding chain.
Their approach has always been to just rush in and kill, whether they're ordinary people or gang members, they'll kill them all." Lorna Romijn said.
"If we can't identify the bad guys, we can't take action. It seems like this is another difficult situation. Is there a simple way to deal with it, such as rushing in and killing them?" Xiao Yi asked.
"No, both the Night Duty Bureau and the Anti-Suppression Bureau have no shortage of firepower."
Lorna Romijn said this, glanced at Xiao Yi, and said, "We have drones, robots, spells, high-powered firearms, and people proficient in mystical spells. We have no shortage of people like you who are good at fighting."
"Damn, it seems like it's hard for me to even make a living here."
Xiao Yi's face suddenly showed depression.
At this moment, Lorna Romijn's face flushed slightly, and she said, "You don't have to think about killing anyone, just stay here."
"Stay here, what do you need me to do?" Xiao Yi asked.
"do what……"
Lorna Romijn thought for a moment and said, "You don't need to do anything. Just help me clean the room, cook, take a bath, and fix my clothes."
"This kind of life is too boring."
Xiao Yi's face immediately showed a lack of interest.
Lorna Romijn's face immediately showed an angry look. She raised her head and looked at Xiao Yi angrily, saying, "Is living with me so boring?"
"Judging from the job you gave me, it is indeed boring." Xiao Yi said.
"You're actually feeling bored being with a beautiful girl like me?"
Lorna Romijn pointed at herself and asked further.
"Although you are beautiful, to be honest, your personality is a bit boring." Xiao Yi said.
"Why is it boring?" asked Lorna Romijn.
"You live a two-point life every day, either working or staying at home. What's the fun in that?" Xiao Yi asked.
Lorna Romijn opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something in rebuttal, but after thinking carefully, she felt that there was nothing to refute. She did stay at home often.
She said, "Going out for fun requires a lot of money. I work hard so that I can have the freedom to have fun in the future."
"I feel like you seem to enjoy your current job very much. You seem to be able to get happiness from catching criminals. You must have put a lot of passion into your work. It's not just for the money as you said." Xiao Yi said.
"Enjoying my work doesn't stop me from enjoying my life," said Lorna Romijn.
She stared at Xiao Yi, as if making a declaration, and said, "Humph, I will make you like serving me."

Volume 1: Chapter 452 Invitation
Xiao Yi looked at Lorna Romijn as if he were looking at a fool.
"What's that look in your eyes?"
Lorna Romijn looked unhappy.
"That's a look that conveys warmth," Xiao Yi said.
"Humph!"
Lorna Romijn kicked Xiao Yi, snorted, and ignored him.
Xiao Yi ignored Lorna Romijn's attitude. He moved over and casually sat next to her. He asked, "Noble Properties, Qinglong Catering Group, and Kaoshan Security Company, what do these three gangs do?"
Lorna Romijn glanced at Xiao Yi but didn't push him away. She said, "From the intelligence we know, Noble Properties has been trying to change the rules. They use a wide range of methods, including formulating property rules, customizing business contracts, and so on.
Their tactics include collecting protection money, kidnapping, intimidation, etc. Their most successful move is suspected to be the successful seizure of management rights for three large markets in Guangming New District.
"Suspicious?"
Xiao Yi was puzzled and didn't understand the wording.
This term is too ambiguous.
“It means that I’m not sure. It seems that these three large markets are acquired by noble properties, but it also seems that they are not.
Market management is a formal industry where qualified companies bid fairly and the company that wins the competition wins the contract. However, many unusual things happened during this bidding process.
First, some people from the bidding companies were killed in traffic accidents by trucks. Then some bidding companies received death notices. Among them, the Noble Property Company also received a death notice. There was even a shooting in the pub where some bidders lived. All these abnormalities caused the bidding to be temporarily suspended. The security guards set up a heavy line of defense before restarting it. Then the Noble Property Company...
Industry won the bid.
Our night shift office also conducted an investigation, but was unable to find anything.
There is no problem at all with the people in the noble properties. Even ordinary people, even if the power of the rules is used to ask, will not find out anything. They know nothing about these events.
The truck driver died instantly during the collision. A background check revealed he was not an employee of Noble Properties and had no connection to them. The case was completely stalled, and even the Night Shift Bureau and the Suppression Bureau were at a loss.
Lorna Romijn first gave a brief account of what happened that year, and then slowly explained the details.
"Since there is no conclusive evidence, why do you put the blame on Gaogui Properties?" Xiao Yi asked.
"Because this project was eventually acquired by Noble Properties, and gangs like Noble Properties seem to have their own personalities. They particularly like to get involved in projects where they can set the rules.
In addition to this, there is another characteristic: most of those who died died in flames. Truck drivers died from flames rising from inside the truck, and bidders who were hit by trucks died from the explosion of their car's fuel tank.
Even those who were shot to death had black wounds, as if they were burned by flames. These methods were very similar to the killing methods used by noble families. They particularly liked to kill with fire.
I suspect that Noble Properties sent white gloves to bid and black gloves to kill. These two groups belong to two independent departments. They do not know each other and do not communicate with each other, so as to avoid the questioning of the normative forces.
But this is just our conjecture, it is not supported by evidence, and it can’t do anything to anyone.”
Lorna Romijn sighed, a feeling of powerlessness welling up over her.
"What do the other two gangs do?" Xiao Yi continued to ask.
"Qinglong Catering Group runs a hotel and is dedicated to researching culinary techniques. The dishes they make are delicious, but investigations have shown that in addition to their public dishes, they also make illegal dishes. They not only hunt protected animals for food, but even hunt humans for food, using these ingredients to create taboo dishes.
These forbidden ingredients are usually used to entertain the upper class, and those who come to dine are rich and powerful people.
They have intricate ties with the upper class of the nobility and a large number of connections in the white world, so they are not easy to mess with.
Our Night Duty Bureau uncovered several cases of producing and consuming forbidden ingredients, and arrested many people from the Qinglong Catering Group, but we still cannot grasp the full picture of the Qinglong Catering Group.
Recently, in the corners of street bars, in invisible and dirty corners, a kind of wine called "Drunkenness and Dreams" has been flowing out. This kind of wine can give people an incomparable strong taste. As long as you drink a drop, you will never forget it.
We found out that it was something that contained banned ingredients. We suspect it was made by the Qinglong Catering Group, but we can't find the source."
Lorna Romijn continued, "Kaoshan Security Company primarily provides security services. This is their public business, but their covert business is the arms trade. They sell dangerous weapons everywhere, and they also undertake assaults and assassinations. They're the most like traditional mafia gangs, and we've cracked down on them the hardest. After all, illegal arms are easier to find."
"An arms dealer was beaten by a property manager and suffered a huge loss?"
There was surprise in Xiao Yi's eyes.
"That is, the people from Noble Properties got the number three cursed item. If they didn't have the cursed item, they might not be able to break in against the powerful firepower of Kaoshan Security Company." Lorna Romijn said.
After she finished speaking, she checked the time, immediately got up from the bed, and called Xiao Yi, saying, "Change my clothes, we are going out."
"What are you doing outside?" Xiao Yi asked in confusion.
Lorna Romijn had only just returned.
"Let's go to the hotel and have a meal to celebrate my innocence," said Lorna Romijn.
"Then you have a safe trip."
Xiao Yi tidied up Lorna Romijn's clothes a little and waved her away.
"What are you talking about? You're coming with me too," said Lorna Romijn.
"I can't even eat human food, so what am I doing here?" Xiao Yi said.
"What's the point of not being able to eat human food? It's just that it's hard for you to digest. Anyway, you have to come with me."
Lorna Romijn is tough and imposing.
"Why do you have to take me with you?" Xiao Yi asked.
Hearing Xiao Yi's question, Lorna Romijn's voice suddenly became much softer. She said, "Nothing, I just want you to follow me."
"Do you get along well with your colleagues?" Xiao Yi suddenly asked.
"We get along very well, why are you suddenly doing this?"
A look of confusion crossed Lorna Romijn's face.
"Since you get along well and you are innocent, why is no one celebrating for you, which is something worth celebrating?" Xiao Yi asked.
"This one……"
Lorna Romijn was stunned for a moment, then said, "Could it be that I didn't invite anyone? For something like this, shouldn't I be the first to invite everyone and invite my colleagues to celebrate together?"

"Even if you ask me, I don't know. I entered the dream world before I entered society. I don't know much about socializing." Xiao Yi said.
I seem to have heard that if you have very good interpersonal relationships, other people will take the initiative to bring up this kind of thing, but now no one has mentioned it to me. Is it possible that my interpersonal relationships are not as good as I thought?
Doubts welled up in Lorna Romijn's mind.
Before she could recall, all the details of her time at the Night Shift Bureau suddenly appeared before her eyes.
I feel like I should be pretty popular.
Maybe things are not as good as I imagined.
After thinking about it for a while, but unable to come up with a reason, Lorna Romijn stopped thinking about it.
She looked at her outfit. She was wearing a vest and jeans, which looked very casual, just like her outfit at home.
Xiao Yi didn't do anything except put a coat on her.
"It's just ordinary clothes. Can you just wear them like this when you go out with me? Don't you need to dress up a little better?" asked Lorna Romijn.
"I don't know much about dressing up, just be ordinary. I think it looks good this way." Xiao Yi said.
"As long as you think it looks good."
Lorna Romijn smiled and reached out to pull Xiao Yi out.
But I found that I couldn't pull it.
"I'm a weirdo and I really can't appear in public openly. It might not be good for you or me." Xiao Yi said.
"What's the matter? I just need to be careful." Lorna Romijn said.
Although I don't know why, it seems I have to go with him.
Seeing Lorna Romijn's determined look, Xiao Yi could only say, "Okay."
Seeing that Xiao Yi agreed to go, Lorna Romijn let go of Xiao Yi and went out.
Xiao Yi followed behind her.
Lorna Romijn took out her cell phone, fiddled with it a few times, and then waited.
After a while, a small car drove over. It was a luxury car.
The car door opened and a man came out and asked Lorna Romijn for the last digit of her cell phone number.
Lorna Romijn gave a number.
"Here are the keys."
The man handed Lorna Romijn a set of keys and left.
What is going on?
Xiao Yi was puzzled.
"It's a rental car," said Lorna Romijn.
"Why do you want to rent a car?" Xiao Yi asked.
I usually don't rent a car when I go out.
