Tick… tock…
The sound of a watch turning.
Luo Bo stood in front of the hotel, casually pulling out his phone.
The person he had arranged to meet still hadn’t sent a message.
“The lower district isn’t that far from here.
Why are they so late?” Luo Bo rubbed his slightly cold hands and tightened his grip on the briefcase tucked under his arm.
This time, he was responsible for receiving a poor wretch sold by her sister—a fifteen-year-old virgin.
When he had first seen the photo, Luo Bo almost couldn’t stop himself from wanting to keep her for his own.
That pitiful yet slightly defiant little face was absolutely irresistible.
But unfortunately, in their line of work, the biggest taboo was “eating from the same nest.”
Besides, this girl named Nan Xi had already been reserved by that certain gentleman…
“Tsk!” Luo Bo pulled out a lighter from his pocket, lit the cigar in his mouth.
He didn’t inhale; just tilted his head back and blew out a few smoke rings.
“Damn… That little bitch isn’t backing out, is she?
Taking this long to show up?” Luo Bo felt the air growing colder and cursed angrily.
He wasn’t afraid of her setting a trap.
Nan Yin?
She was a notorious female thug from the lower district.
Her background wasn’t any cleaner than his.
She had been forced to sell her own sister this time—who knew if one day she’d have to sell herself too?
Luo Bo had some dark thoughts.
After all, if the younger sister looked that good, the older sister couldn’t be bad…
“Buzz!”
Just as Luo Bo was lost in thought, a streak of light stung his eyes from a distance.
Looking closer, he saw it was a municipal surveillance drone.
Seeing that, he quickly snuffed out his cigar and turned away to avoid being caught on camera.
But in that very moment of turning, Luo Bo caught the reflection of a Tianzhou City Security Patrol car in the hotel’s glass door.
‘Holy shit!
What rotten luck!
Out for a deal and I still run into the cops!’ Luo Bo thought grimly.
But then he couldn’t stay calm anymore, because he saw two officers—a man and a woman—getting out of the patrol car and walking straight toward him.
“?
What’s going on?” Alarm bells rang in Luo Bo’s head.
He quietly gripped the suppressant in his briefcase.
That stuff would let him temporarily use the abilities that had been sealed by the Security Bureau after his last offense.
It was his trump card.
“Excuse me, sir.
May I…” At that moment, the male officer had already stopped not far behind Luo Bo.
Luo Bo heard the cop clearly trying to speak to him.
“Shit!” Luo Bo cursed under his breath and directly pushed open the hotel door in front of him, quickly heading for the back exit.
“Stop!
Police!” The male officer saw Luo Bo acting suspiciously and immediately reached for his stun gun.
His footsteps weren’t slow either; he followed Luo Bo right in.
“Qiya Hotel, Philo District.
Requesting backup.”
The female officer immediately activated her ability ring.
Her ability was X-ray vision, which allowed her to see Luo Bo’s movements remotely.
“Xiao Zhang, he went through the back door.
That’s a densely populated area.
Please avoid opening fire if possible.”
………………
“What the hell… Did that bitch really sell me out?” Luo Bo cursed, punching a passerby who blocked his way.
He glanced back at the officer now running in pursuit and realized he had been targeted.
Racing through the hotel lobby, he abruptly changed his escape route.
He planned to dash out another side of the hotel, which opened onto a square.
His ability was fire-based.
If he set a couple of fires in a crowded area, the cops wouldn’t dare act rashly.
With that plan in mind, Luo Bolted across the street.
At the same time, he unzipped the briefcase and grabbed the suppressant.
‘Worst case, I take out these two cops first, then escape into the lower district…’
“Huh?”
“Screech—”
Just then, the sound of brakes screeched in Luo Bo’s ears, followed by his vision spinning wildly.
A twisting pain shot through his left arm.
He felt something slam into him violently, and then inertia hurled him hard onto the ground.
“What…?” Luo Bo forced his eyes open.
Everything was already blurred with blood.
The last thing he saw was a beautiful silver-haired figure on a shared bike…
“Don’t move!
Police!”
………………
“Screech—”
Nan Yin slammed on the brakes and ducked into an alley.
She smashed the electronic lock on the shared bike, then tossed it into a nearby dumpster.
Carrying the briefcase she had snatched from Luo Bo, she went to the end of the alley, then cut through another route to emerge onto a main street.
Everything went smoothly.
Because of her interference, the human trafficker Luo Bo was now under arrest.
And that ability suppressant in his hand would be enough trouble for him—after all, that stuff was a military contraband.
[Ding-dong.
Congratulations on completing Character No.
1’s mission: Make the human trafficker receive his deserved punishment]
[Reward issued: 50 health points]
As the voice in her head finished its announcement, Nan Yin felt a warm current flow rapidly from her lower abdomen throughout her entire body.
Instantly, the lingering weakness from this body disappeared.
The dull aches all over her body faded away.
And the biggest change was that her throat no longer had that dry, scratchy, painful feeling.
“Cough… ahem…” Nan Yin tried to speak.
Sure enough, the sound that came out was no longer the hoarse, grating voice from before.
Instead, it was a light, youthful girl’s voice.
‘Not bad.
This body’s original voice is actually pretty nice.’
As she thought that, Nan Yin began to feel a little more curious about this body’s appearance.
For some reason, the original owner had caked on heavy makeup, making it impossible to see her real face.
And in the game, the character Nan Yin didn’t even have a character portrait, so there was no way for her to guess the original’s looks.
“Hmm?” Lost in these random thoughts, Nan Yin waited at the intersection for over ten minutes.
The voice in her head didn’t speak again.
It seemed it wouldn’t give her any new missions for a while.
‘Well, what should I do now?
Go home and face that awkward relationship with my sister Nan Xi?’
As Nan Yin thought this, she recalled the memories left by the original owner.
Then she pulled out her phone and dialed a number.
“Hey, boss?
Did everything go smoothly?” The call connected quickly, and a young woman’s voice came through.
Given the background noise, it sounded like the other person was still driving.
“Yeah, it’s done.
Come pick me up.” Nan Yin thought for a moment and spoke, trying to imitate the original owner’s usual tone with this person.
But Nan Yin obviously overlooked the change in her voice.
Sure enough, the voice on the other end paused for a moment after hearing Nan Yin’s voice.
Then came a shocked shout from the girl:
“Whoa!
Boss!
What miracle pill did you take to fix your voice?!”
“…It’s done.
Are you coming or not?” Nan Yin recalled the original owner’s usual attitude and directly ignored the girl’s shock, speaking impatiently.
Maybe because she was used to being bossed around, the other girl didn’t mind Nan Yin’s tone.
But her attention was successfully redirected.
The girl said carelessly:
“Coming!
Of course, I’m coming!
I’d refuse even the Emperor of Heaven’s request, but never yours, boss.”
“Boss, send me your location.
Trust my driving!
No matter where you are in Tianzhou City, I guarantee I’ll be there in ten minutes!”
…
After hanging up, Nan Yin let out a breath.
She couldn’t keep imitating the original owner’s personality and tone forever.
Sooner or later, she’d slip up.
She had to clean up the original’s social circle immediately.
The person she just called was the original owner’s little sister and best friend, named Jiang Mi.
She also lived in the lower district and was a student at Roland High School, in the same class as the original owner.
Jiang Mi had been orphaned since childhood.
After the original owner saved her from some incident in the past, Jiang Mi became completely loyal and followed Nan Yin without question—Jiang Mi had a good heart, but no matter what the original owner did, this silly girl supported her unconditionally.
Even this time, when they sold off Nan Xi, Jiang Mi had tried to persuade Nan Yin countless times, saying that Nan Xi was still her sister and didn’t need to be so ruthless.
But in the end, the original owner’s persistence had set up this deal with Luo Bo.
In the game’s storyline, Nan Yin was a throwaway character without this close friend.
Nan Yin only learned about it from the memories after she transmigrated.
Not even ten minutes later, a beat-up old van pulled up in front of Nan Yin.
A girl with a beautiful head of orange hair, wearing an old leather jacket, jumped out of the driver’s seat and ran up to Nan Yin.
She pinched Nan Yin’s cheeks in disbelief.
“Boss!
Your voice really is better?
You even look way more energetic than before!” Jiang Mi’s shock was written all over her face.
