Lin Xian had already been below, ready to catch the falling CC, and the two of them fell into a soft pile of fallen leaves.
“Are you okay?”
CC was the first to stand up, looking down at Lin Xian.
“I’m fine.”
Lin Xian also dusted off the leaves on his clothes and stood up.
CC looked around and found Er Zhuzi’s green sunhat, picking it up and handing it to Lin Xian:
“Do you want it?”
“What would I want that for…”
Lin Xian dismissed it with a wave of his hand, disgusted:
“Quick, quick, quick, just throw it out to Er Zhuzi, we don’t need that bad luck.”
CC blinked.
She didn’t understand; how could such a small hat bring bad luck?
Why did Lin Xian react to this hat as if it were cursed every time he saw it?

But she didn’t bother to argue, and she simply threw it over the fence, returning it to its owner.
“Done.”
She turned back to Lin Xian:
“Where to next?”
“We’ll just have to search slowly.”
Lin Xian said helplessly:
“I’ve been looking through Mr.
Wei’s telescope for a long time, but I couldn’t find the location of the Hafnium Alloy Safe.
The main issue is that there are too many buildings here; many large buildings might be warehouses, and naturally, I don’t know which warehouse the safe is in.”
“Anyway, the safe is definitely not in this area; after all, Queenstown started because of the safes, so they definitely understand their importance.
How could they possibly place it in an uninhabited old town district?
Even if it’s really here, they would surely assign a lot of people to guard it.”
“Let’s leave this place first and then head to the tallest building in the center, the core building.”
Lin Xian took out his pistol from his waist.
He pushed off the safety, loaded the gun, and shook it at CC:
“I think the fastest and most efficient method is to somehow ‘kidnap the queen,’ then use the gun to pressure her into revealing the location of the safe.”
“Since the system will reset in a few hours anyway, there’s no need to be overcautious.
Even if we get killed by the queen’s guards afterward, it doesn’t matter as long as we see the safes’ numbers and names; our mission would be considered complete.”
“If our names, mine or Old Wei Shengjin’s, are there, then there would be a need to come back tomorrow.
But if our names aren’t on any safes and all the safe numbers are above 266…
then there’s no real need to visit Queenstown anymore.”
With that,
Lin Xian pocketed the ready pistol and motioned to CC:
“Let’s go, let’s take this dark side path…”
He reached the corner and suddenly froze.
“What’s wrong?”
Curious, CC walked over and looked into the dark path, she froze too and hurriedly covered her eyes and walked back…
pulling Lin Xian with her.
You never know until you look, what a shock!
There was a young couple embracing each other on that dark path!
Ahem.
Robbery aside, kidnapping aside, demolish ten temples but do not disturb a marriage, Lin Xian and CC decided to bypass this path.
“Couples, after all, dating in such dim places is pretty normal.”
Lin Xian waved it off:
“We’ll just take another path from here.”
The two of them then took another narrow side path…
And what a sight it was!
𝑛𝘰𝘃𝕘𝗼.co
In this narrow path, there were two couples!
Both already in each other’s arms!
“Move, move, move, move…”
CC quickly pulled Lin Xian back out of this place of mischief:
“What’s going on?
Why are there so many couples here?”
She just couldn’t understand and frowned:
“And besides, isn’t this kind of thing supposed to be very private?”
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“Ah…
you’re asking me, but I don’t have any experience either.
It’s just that these couples really know where to pick.”
“As infiltrators, we definitely choose places with few people.
But it’s the same for these couples too; they need to stay out of sight and pick secluded spots only lit by moonlight for their amorous encounters.”
“Anyway, let’s just find another route.
I don’t believe that every corner of this large area could possibly be occupied by couples.”
He was skeptical, and together with CC, they went in another direction.
Five minutes later.
He was a believer now.
CC too, was enlightened.
She faced the wall, her eyes closed, covering her forehead:
“Lin Xian, you really know how to pick places, Queenstown’s walls are so long, and you just had to pick a dating hotspot, blocking our way.”
Lin Xian spread his hands:
“I’m helpless too, who could have thought…
this backward Earth, especially here in Queenstown, could be so liberal?”
“Now, I sort of understand why Queenstown’s population has quadrupled in just twenty or thirty years…
the customs here are indeed vigorous.
No, it must be said that the queen leads well, with such dating density and atmosphere, it’s hard not to multiply the population!”
He was speaking the truth.
This abandoned old town district seemed, in Queenstown, to have become an established dating sanctuary for young couples.
Apparently, the officials also support this, so the patrolling guards don’t come here to interfere, and the complex old buildings aren’t demolished, literally making it a natural dating paradise.
“There’s nothing we can do about it.”
Lin Xian pointed to the first path with only one embracing couple:
“We’ll just have to push through, let’s pretend they’re not there.
Besides, we are robbers, why should we be afraid of disturbing them?”
