Robot Girl

Fang Li was already quite familiar with Leiji.

When they first enrolled, Fang Li and Leiji both set their sights on the same commissioned task.

After that, Fang Li learned that Leiji, like himself, had received an S-Class rating in the entrance exam and was regarded as a treasure by the teachers of the Sniper Department and treated as a prodigy by her classmates.

In this way, it would be impossible for Fang Li and Leiji not to cross paths.

After all, the Assault Department and the Sniper Department are the most compatible types in the general sense, one being a close-range assault and the other a long-range support.

Fang Li and Leiji are both S-Rank Armed Detective, one being the chief of the Assault Department and the other the chief of the Sniper Department, so it's impossible for them not to cooperate at times.

In the past, Fang Li took on a highly challenging task that lasted for two months.

That task was entrusted to us by the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office.

Fang Li and Leiji were chosen by the teachers in the Academic Affairs Office to carry out this entrusted task.

Therefore, Fang Li and Leiji were together for those two months.

However, Fang Li and Leiji were not exactly familiar with each other.

The reason is simple: Leiji's personality makes it impossible for people to get close to her.

In short, this girl had no emotions.

At least, during that year, no one at Armed Detective High School ever saw Leiji's face show any expression.

Moreover, Leiji never speaks unless absolutely necessary, and her presence is frighteningly low.

This goes beyond being taciturn; it's to the point where one begins to question whether they are even human.

In light of this, the members of the Armed Detective High School refer to Leiji as a robot, saying that Leiji has no emotions.

In fact, Fang Li had never seen Leiji show any emotional fluctuations.

Therefore, for a period of time, Fang Li cared a lot about Leiji.

"If I am merely insensitive to death, then Leiji is insensitive to everything, isn't she?"

This is why Fang Li cares about Leiji.

In addition, having worked together for so long, Fang Li was naturally familiar with Leiji, but since the two hadn't had many conversations outside of missions, they weren't exactly close either.

"I didn't expect you to know Leiji," Fang Li said to Aria. "Is this the backup you were talking about?"

"That's right." Aria nodded, turned her gaze to Leiji, and said, "The Armed Detective Killer is a cunning opponent after all. This incident is very likely to be similar to the last bus hijacking incident. The perpetrator used remote control and slowing bombs to commit the crime, but did not show up in person. Therefore, I want to hire Leiji as our informant to monitor and observe the surroundings when we enter the ball."

"That's true," Fang Li said, quite agreeing. "I was also thinking that the culprit might be hiding behind the scenes again, so we should find a way to find him. This level of preparation is basic, isn't it?"

As a sniper, Leiji possesses the highest level of expertise.

If Leiji occupies a high position, then nothing within a two-kilometer radius should escape Leiji notice.

Having Leiji as their informant is a very good thing for Fang Li and Aria.

"Click..."

As Fang Li finished speaking with Aria, Leiji also completed the final step of her work, preparing the Sniper Rifle.

Immediately afterwards, Leiji raised the Sniper Rifle in her hand, pointed it forward, seemingly checking the function of the scope, slowly moved the gun, and finally aimed it at Fang Li and Aria.

It has to be said that being aimed at by a renowned S-Rank Armed Detective Sniper Rifle from the Sniper Department is an extremely terrifying thing.

Unfortunately, Fang Li and Aria are both S-Class armed detectives, and they are already used to gun muzzles.

"Leiji." Aria stepped forward and, with a swift and decisive manner, said to Leiji without any hesitation, "I'd like to hire you for one day, April 18th. Can you come?"

Without beating around the bush, Aria went straight to the point.

Leiji's expression didn't change at all; she simply nodded in agreement.

Seeing this, Aria said again, "Then, the price will remain the same as before, is that alright?"

Clearly, this wasn't the first time Aria had asked Leiji to do something for her.

You should know that hiring an S-Rank Armed Detective is not cheap.

However, that was no big deal for Aria, who was an S-Rank Armed Detective and a England nobleman.

Putting aside other things, the reward Fang Li received during the bus hijacking incident was also paid by Aria.

At that time, Fang Li had not yet become Aria's partner, and the order to attack was given to Fang Li by Lan Bao through Aria. It was as if Aria had hired Fang Li during the bus hijacking incident, and the commission was naturally paid by Aria.

Presumably, Aria has done the same thing many times before, and it seems that Leiji is frequently asked to do the same thing by Aria.

Faced with Aria like this, Leiji simply nodded slightly without saying a word.

Under such circumstances, Aria seemed unsurprised and said matter-of-factly, "Then it's decided. Come find me at 7 p. m. on April 18th. Don't be late."

Having said that, Aria walked towards Fang Li as if she had accomplished her purpose, and said to Fang Li, "Alright, let's go back."

The entire commissioning process was surprisingly simplified, which made Fang Li smile wryly.

This is a situation that should only occur between Aria and Leiji, right?

One is independent and moves forward at its own pace.

One without emotion needs no further explanation.

When two people like these come together, everything becomes much simpler.

So Fang Li didn't say anything, just nodded, and immediately wanted to leave with Aria.

However, at that moment, Leiji suddenly spoke up.

"Fang Li, please be careful of your surroundings."

The sudden words stunned Aria and surprised Fang Li.

Turning his head, Fang Li looked at Leiji, and his gaze met Leiji's straight eyes without shifting.

Immediately, Leiji said so.

"The winds around you are starting to pick up, and you're about to encounter something extraordinary."

After saying that, Leiji turned her head away, wiped the Sniper Rifle in her hand, and stopped talking.

Seeing this, Aria was still in shock, but Fang Li remembered what Shirayuki had told him before she left.

"Rito will encounter events that will cause huge changes to his surroundings."
