“Arrest Department?”
The two spoke in unison.
Wei Chu clapped his hands, a happy expression on his face, and said,
“So Xiao Wan’s department is called the Arrest Department.”
Xia Yuwan gave him a side-eye.
“What are you talking about? I’m in the Human Resources Department; I’m not in the same department as you.”
“The Arrest Department is the department responsible for handling Wanted Criminals.”
Upon hearing this, Wei Chu immediately declared,
“What? Not the same department?”
“Whichever department you’re in, that’s where I’ll be!”
“I swore a solemn oath; I will follow you to the death!”
“Xiao Wan, you are my boss!”
Xia Yuwan looked speechless.
“When did I make such an oath? I don’t recall.”
“A good man should gallop across the battlefield, with ambitions reaching far and wide!”
“That’s a department only those with strong combat power can enter; it’s a recognition of your abilities!”
Then she looked around, and after making sure no one was there, she said softly,
“Besides, you have a Special Module. What kind of situation would it be for you to stay in logistics with me?”
“Qi Xiao Ge, don’t you agree?”
Qi Xiao smiled but said nothing.
She was talking nonsense; in reality, they were just being used as expendable thugs.
Chasing Wanted Criminals was the most dangerous department in the Order Heavenly Kingdom.
He hadn't expected to be directly assigned here.
If, as Kong You said, she was supporting him to climb higher, then would he eventually become the Chief of the Arrest Department?
Good heavens, the Chief of the Arrest Department is actually a spy cultivated by the Wanted Criminals.
It truly became an Infernal Affairs situation.
However, this department wasn't bad either, closely linked to Kong You and her group.
Any new information could be directly 'sold' to Kong You.
Xia Yuwan also realized that vague encouragement was meaningless, so she quickly began to talk about practical benefits.
“The Arrest Department is indeed dangerous, but it’s also the highest-paying department.”
“Rewards, bounties, performance bonuses, benefits, subsidies—everything is the highest!”
“Moreover, the Arrest Department is the fastest department for accumulating merit.”
“When you catch or execute Wanted Criminals, you’ll not only receive bounties but also merit rewards.”
Hearing this, Qi Xiao’s eyes lit up.
He was just worrying about how to accumulate merit.
Now it was good; the Level Eight Key had hope!
Thinking of this, Qi Xiao felt that the Arrest Department was not bad.
Even if he truly encountered danger, Qi Xiao wasn't afraid; he had many ways to escape anyway.
As for performing tasks and working with others normally, he just needed to put on a show.
“Oh, by the way, the Chief of your Arrest Department is named Donghai Zui.”
“She’s a tall, beautiful woman~”
“What tall, beautiful woman? Xiao Wan, are you just abandoning me like this?!”
“Wait, what did you just say?… Tall, beautiful woman?”
Wei Chu immediately had a look of wild imagination.
Upon hearing the name Donghai Zui, the golden dragon cheongsam appeared in Qi Xiao’s mind.
Donghai Zui…
So her name was Donghai Zui.
Qi Xiao had seen her once in Zu'an before, and this woman had left a deep impression on him.
First was her entrance, leaping down from an airship high in the sky.
Then there was her decisive working style and the astonishing aura she exuded, making it clear she was not someone to be trifled with.
Between her and Kong You, whose combat power was higher?
The three chatted as they walked, and soon left the Aries Palace.
Just then, a purple lightning bolt shot down from the mountain.
The lightning ‘struck’ in front of the Aries Palace, revealing a human form.
It was a woman with an heroic face, a long fishtail braid, and a black slit cheongsam.
“Chief Donghai!”
“Chief Donghai!”
The guards at the entrance all saluted.
Qi Xiao’s gaze paused; she actually came!
Donghai Zui nodded slightly to the guards, then looked at Qi Xiao’s trio.
“Are these the two?”
“Yes.”
Before Xia Yuwan could introduce them, Donghai Zui looked at Wei Chu:
“You are Qi Xiao.”
“Huh? No, I’m Wei Chu.”
“Oh.”
Donghai Zui then looked to her right:
“You are Qi Xiao.”
“Was it you who killed Li Zailong?”
Qi Xiao nodded.
Donghai Zui looked carefully at Qi Xiao, then nodded.
“The little guy is not bad.”
“You two go to Zu'an and bring a few people back.”
“I’ll have someone send you their specific intelligence.”
“This is your first mission after joining the Arrest Department.”
“I still have things to do, so you can set off now.”
Donghai Zui patted Qi Xiao and Wei Chu on the shoulders:
“This position of mine will be yours sooner or later!”
“Work hard, young men!”
With that, she transformed back into a purple lightning bolt and shot away.
“Goodbye, Chief Donghai!”
Xia Yuwan smiled wryly and shook her head.
“Chief Donghai still acts so decisively.”
“Is that my boss? What did she come for?”
To give them an empty promise, what else?
Qi Xiao muttered to himself.
He looked in the direction Donghai Zui had left, not expecting a mission to come so quickly.
After the three left, the guards began to whisper among themselves.
“What’s going on? Chief Donghai actually came to see two people personally?”
“Wait, aren’t these the two newly recruited special admissions with badges from earlier?”
“Although they changed uniforms, I remember the red-haired one.”
“Almost all the badges of this batch of specially recruited newcomers were tricked away by the Free Organization. Compared to them, these two have infinitely bright futures!”
“No wonder Chief Donghai personally came to pick them up; good talents are always prioritized for the Arrest Department.”
“I’m so envious of the Arrest Department; how can we, who stand guard, compare?”
“Ultimately, aren’t we just security guards? It doesn’t matter; I used to be a security guard.”
“That’s not bad either; it saves a lot of detours.”
“Alright, everyone, stand at your posts and stop discussing!”
…
On the car going down the mountain.
Xia Yuwan was still driving, with Qi Xiao and Wei Chu in the back.
“Xiao Wan, Xiao Wan.”
“Speak.”
“Um, I have a tiny question.”
“The Train stops at stations randomly. If those Wanted Criminals aren’t in Zu'an or You'erdan, how do we catch them?”
Hearing this, Xia Yuwan explained:
“After you join the Arrest Department, you can access intelligence on all Wanted Criminals in the Order Heavenly Kingdom.”
“When you’re outside, you might encounter some of them.”
“If you do, report the information. You can request item or personnel reinforcements.”
“Of course, if you’re confident, you can also apprehend them alone or eliminate them directly.”
“Goodness, catching people relies entirely on luck?”
“That’s how it is outside.”
“Or you can be stationed permanently at public stations like You'erdan or Zu'an, waiting for them to come to you.”
“Especially Zu'an, where Wanted Criminals are rampant.”
“But as for how long you have to wait, that depends on luck.”
The Train survival world itself is about allowing various Train Conductors to adventure in an infinite number of worlds.
The establishment of the Order Heavenly Kingdom, at its core, actually contradicts this fundamental rule.
Because of this unique mechanism, pursuers are naturally at a disadvantage.
Qi Xiao didn’t mind; he actually thought it was quite good, very free.
He didn’t want to spend too much time in the organization.
Unless it was like Kong You’s side, where the returns outweighed the effort.
Xia Yuwan first drove Wei Chu back, but where the Train had originally stopped was now empty.
“No, buddy, where’s my car?”
Wei Chu cried out, holding his head:
“Damn it, did I not close the door???”
Xia Yuwan and Qi Xiao looked at him together, with different expressions.
