42: A bunny girl in a sewer? Something's not right here!

In the dark alley of the Dock, filthy black water flowed across the ground.

Chen Du and his group crept along the base of the wall, weaving through the alleyways.

In the middle of the group, An Nuonuo's little nose twitched like a police dog's.

"Captain... that smell is getting stronger."

The Little loli's face scrunched up into a meat bun, and she said with disgust, "It stinks... it's like rotten eggs soaked in sulfuric acid..."

"Shh."

Chen Du suddenly raised his hand, signaling them to stop.

Around the corner, a burst of lewd laughter mixed with strange croaking sounds drifted over.

Along with that strange croaking that couldn't be understood.

Three green-skinned Goblins were walking by, swaying unsteadily.

They carried several squirming sacks on their backs, from which the muffled sobs of women could be heard.

"Yo, looks like we've run into human traffickers." Chen Du pressed against the wall and signaled to Xiao Ai with his eyes.

Xiao Ai understood immediately.

She took a deep breath and darted out from the shadows!

There were no flashy moves, just speed, precision, and ruthlessness!

"Splurt!"

With a flash of her blade!

The head of the Goblin walking at the back was already separated from its body, and its dark green blood painted a fresh coat of paint on the wall.

Just as the other two were about to scream, Chen Du had already lunged forward.

Dealing with these squishy monsters was still very easy.

"Snap! Snap!"

Two crisp sounds—the sound of throat bones shattering.

Chen Du kicked the corpses into the sewer ditch like he was throwing out trash.

He casually untied the rope of one sack.

A terrified face was revealed, covered in tears.

It wasn't Li Yaozhi, nor was it Zhou Qian.

It was a strange girl wearing a tattered school uniform; she looked like one of the other players who had been dragged into this.

"Don't... don't kill me... I have money..." the girl trembled, mistaking Chen Du for a robber.

"Shut up. If you want to live, run toward the Dock."

Chen Du pointed behind him, "If anyone asks who saved you, or who killed these monsters..."

He paused, a righteous smile appearing on his face, "Remember this name—Yamato Construction Group, Tanaka Koji! Make sure you don't remember it wrong; he is our hero!"

The girl was stunned for a moment.

She didn't understand why one would leave the name of a Sakura Country person when doing a good deed.

But her survival instinct made her nod frantically, and she took off running!

"Tanaka Koji?"

Xiao Ai shook the blood droplets off her katana and couldn't help but remark, "Captain, your framing skills are way too practiced, aren't they? It's practically muscle memory."

"If that bastard knew, he wouldn't be able to keep his coffin lid down."

"Your perspective is too narrow."

Chen Du straightened his collar and looked at the dark, deep sewer entrance ahead.

"This is called brand effect."

"Let's go. That was just an appetizer; the main course inside is the real highlight."

...

At the same time.

Crimson Port, inner city drainage canal.

This was the intestine of this city of flesh and blood, as well as a hotbed for filth and sin.

In the rusty pipes overhead, there were constant gurgling sounds like indigestion.

Murky, yellow wastewater flowed down the pipe walls, merging into the underground river at their feet.

The air was a mix of sulfur, machine oil, and rotting excrement; one breath was enough to make your scalp tingle.

"Cough, cough... This smell is even more intense than when Eldest Sister took off her shoes after running five kilometers the other day."

Xia Lai pinched her nose and held her mechanical right arm above her head with a look of disgust.

This was her treasure; it absolutely could not get contaminated by these disgusting liquids.

"Number Two! Do you want to die?!"

Eldest Sister Xia Xin bristled, retorting in shame and anger, "My feet have always smelled fragrant~~ It's your own feet that stink!"

"Eldest Sister, Second Sister, quiet down."

Xia Mo, who was walking at the very front, spoke in a cold voice.

She wore a tight black leather outfit, her perfect S-curve faintly visible in the dim light.

The scabbard of the katana at her waist was wrapped in sound-dampening cloth strips.

And Xia Xin, who was bringing up the rear, had the most colorful expression.

Because of that lecherous Chen Du's bad taste, she was forced to wear a tactical, modified version of a bunny girl outfit.

The reason was: Rabbits have good hearing, which is suitable for keeping watch.

No one actually refuted this nonsense!

Now, she had to wear this outfit with its off-the-charts level of embarrassment.

Stepping in long combat boots, exposing those long legs wrapped in ultra-thin black silk to the filthy air.

"Xia Lai, do we really have to guard here?"

Xia Xin tugged at her low-cut neckline that was about to slip, always feeling like bugs were crawling on her.

"Don't worry, Eldest Sister."

Xia Lai said confidently, "This is the only connection point between the Dock and the inner city. If anyone wants to ambush the ferry, this is the only way through."

"As long as we hold this spot, even if a whole regiment of Goblins comes, they'll have to kneel and sing 'Conquer' for me!"

Suddenly.

Xia Lai's voice stopped abruptly.

"Stop!"

Xia Mo reacted almost at the same time.

She pressed one hand on her blade, her body tense, her eyes fixed intently on the front.

"Since you're here, don't hide like rats."

"Clap, clap, clap..."

A smattering of applause came from the depths of the shadows.

The echoes were constant, sounding exceptionally creepy.

"As expected of top-tier goods, your vigilance is quite high."

Following the sinister laughter, five men wearing light armor swaggered out.

The man in the lead wore a half-coverage respirator mask.

The upper half of his face that was exposed was as pale as paper, and the corners of his eyes were covered in strange black totems.

The way he looked at the three sisters was like a wild dog that had been starving for three days seeing braised pork.

It was naked greed, lechery, and a kind of superior brutality.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... leather-clad older sister, bunny girl in black silk, and another one... playing with machinery?"

"...Wow! And they are triplet sisters! Rare! Uncommon!"

The Tattooed Man's gaze roamed unscrupulously over Xia Mo's leather outfit zipper and Xia Xin's black silk-wrapped flesh, his Adam's apple bobbing violently.

"Third Brother, leave the one in black silk to me; I really have a thing for that."

"Big Brother, the leather-clad babe is mine! It's only satisfying to conquer these cold ones; I just love hearing them cry!"

A mercenary next to him, who was as fat as a ball, laughed strangely, spinning a poisoned dagger in his hand.

"As for the one with the mechanical arm... looks like a technician. Dismantle the arm and sell it to the modification shop; the rest of the body can still be used."

Faced with such filthy language, The three Xia sisters did not panic.

On the contrary.

They looked at each other, a trace of... speechlessness flashing in their eyes.

"Sigh, I told you so."

Xia Lai sighed and scratched her head with her mechanical finger, "Can the villains these days have some original opening lines?"

"It's either robbing money or robbing sex, there's no technical skill at all; it's so boring I'm about to fall asleep."

"Second Sister, it seems that in their eyes, you're only worth a scrap metal price."

Although Xia Xin was nervous inside, she refused to lose verbally and chimed in with a remark.

"You're courting death!!"

The Tattooed Man's face darkened.

Having hung around this port for so long, this was the first time he had ever seen "playthings" who dared to be this arrogant while surrounded.

"If you won't drink the toast, you'll drink the forfeit! Do it! As long as you don't kill them, missing arms or legs will actually be more romantic!"

"Boom!"

Before he even finished speaking, the Tattooed Man stomped his foot violently!

An invisible ripple swept across the entire area!

B-rank Talent—【Gravity Field】!

The air seemed to solidify into cement, and the three sisters felt a heaviness on their shoulders, as if they were carrying a small mountain.

"Ugh!"

Xia Xin was a squishy Archer; her knees went weak on the spot, and she nearly knelt on the ground.

Her body couldn't bear the load, and the zipper of her bunny girl outfit burst open a few teeth, revealing the firm, full snow-white skin underneath.

"Hehehe... get down! Beauties!"

The Tattooed Man laughed wildly, approaching step by step, enjoying the pleasure of controlling life and death.

"In my gravity field, you can't even move a finger!"

"Crawl over obediently and serve me well, and I might just spare your lives..."

The other four mercenaries also grinned and surrounded them, holding stun batons and capture nets in their hands.

It looked like a "sewer tragedy" was about to unfold.

However.

That Xia Lai, whom they had mocked as scrap, suddenly raised her head.

On her pretty face, which was stained with dust but still stunning, there was no fear.

"Gravity?"

Xia Lai raised an eyebrow, and the hydraulic tubes on her mechanical arm emitted a pleasant humming sound.

"Just this much pressure? Did you not eat, or are you giving me an essential oil back massage?"
