Chapter 218: Put Down Your Weapons
Chapter 218: Lungmen Guard Bureau on the Case, Put Down Your Weapons!
Kasumigaoka Utaha rubbed her eyes and dazedly surveyed the furniture around her. She touched the sofa in disbelief. "This is my living room! How did you do that?!"
In the blink of an eye, she had returned to her home from a street that was still some distance away, without even opening the door.
"Simple spatial movement. Let’s not talk about that for now. Don’t you think you should take care of yourself?" Ren pointed to her lower body, not with disdain, but as a reminder. "You’re still wearing wet clothes; won’t that be uncomfortable? The temperature is quite low right now."
Utaha froze. The moment he brought it up, she had no other thoughts in her head. All she wanted to do was take a shower. "I’m going to take a shower!" Ignoring her shame, she turned and rushed into the bathroom, closing the door in one swift motion.
"Then I..." Ren was about to say he was leaving, but then he heard her trembling request from inside the bathroom. "Ren-kun, please don’t leave now... I... I’m a little scared..."
She was telling the truth. After seeing real monsters, she couldn’t help but wonder if the ghosts and monsters from horror movies could also be real. This thought terrified her. Her body trembled as she undressed, afraid that a demon or monster would suddenly appear in the bathroom.
Ren glanced at the graceful shadow cast on the door by the bathroom light and agreed. "Alright, I’ll wait for you to come out before I leave." He walked to the sofa and sat down.
Hearing that he was still there, Utaha breathed a sigh of relief. But then, realizing she was showering with a man just outside the door, a strange feeling of awkwardness welled up in her heart, making her pulse quicken. "Hiss!" she hissed, as she started the water to rinse.
Bored, Ren communicated with Echidna. "Echidna, did you receive the gift?"
"Thank you, my Master, you have indeed sent another marvelous creature."
"Mm, you can research her power and see if it can be combined with the Giant’s Power."
"Master’s idea aligns with mine; I was just thinking the same thing."
"That’s good. I still have some strange monsters here, but unfortunately, I can’t bring them into the Chaos Realm. Come out and take a look when you have time."
"Alright."
After a simple communication with Echidna, Ren realized that Adashino Benio’s house was directly opposite Utaha’s. There was no time like the present. He decided to sleep at her house today and took out his phone to confirm.
Ren: "Hongxu, are you asleep?"
Adashino Benio: "Not yet, is there something Ren-kun needs?"
Ren: "Mm, Hongxu, you can just call me Ren. I was wondering if I could sleep at your place tonight?"
Adashino Benio: "Eh! Tonight?"
Adashino Benio: "Hmm... Ren... Does Ren-kun need Hongxu’s service?"
Ren: "If Hongxu is willing."
Adashino Benio: "Of course!"
Adashino Benio: "cough, I wanted to ask when Ren-kun plans to come?"
Ren: "About half an hour or so."
Adashino Benio: "Alright! I’ll prepare... prepare a meal for you!"
Ren really wanted to ask if this ’meal’ was proper. As for thirty minutes, he glanced at the bathroom and estimated that Utaha would take about that long to shower. Normal girls not only use hotter water for showering but also take longer than boys due to physiological differences. Plus, Utaha had a lot on her mind, so she would definitely wash herself repeatedly.
A bored Ren sent a message reminder to some people at home who might be waiting for him, then opened the Chat Group. Scrolling through the messages, he immediately saw Exusiai’s bored complaints.
Exusiai: "So boring, it’s nothing but commissions every day."
March 7th: "Exu wasn’t a workaholic before? She was clearly very active."
Exusiai: "Well, my dream came true, so my motivation is less. Now I can have as many guns as I want, and as many bullets as I want."
March 7th: "This... perhaps this is the dullness after a wish is fulfilled."
Shinobu Kocho: "Everyone should be pretty much the same. After the demons were eradicated and the Demon Slayer Corps disbanded, I also didn’t know what to do. I could only choose to cultivate myself, especially needing strong bodily flexibility."
Flexibility... Ren felt he might have been thinking crookedly.
Saeko Busujima: "Indeed. The social order here is gradually being re-established, though it doesn’t affect us much."
Seitenshi: "The establishment of a new order is complex, and its subsequent development is even more exasperating."
Re-establishing society and forging new paths, the Seitenshi had deeply experienced the difficulties involved, but she continued to work hard.
Bronya: "After the end of the Cold Wave and the Stellaron, Belobog also became busy again. The surface needs to be explored, and new homes need to be built. Belobog is a bit short-handed."
Bronya: "It’s a headache. I don’t even know if I’m a qualified Great Guardian 0."
Ren: "Bronya, don’t belittle yourself. Believe in yourself."
Bronya: "Thank you for your comfort. I will work hard."
Ren: "For geological transformation, don’t you have the Creation Engine? Once the Creation Engine is repaired, geological transformation and construction should be very easy, right?"
Bronya: "!!! Thank you for the reminder. To be honest, all of us overlooked the existence of the Creation Engine."
Only after being reminded by Ren did Bronya remember. Building new habitats was not something that could only be done by human hands; the power of the ancients could also be utilized. Wasn’t the Creation Engine a machine for geological transformation? She had thought everyone was just simply chatting about their current situations, but she didn’t expect such an unexpected gain.

Lungmen. A mobile city-state under the Flame Country, controlled by the Flame Country’s imperial family, Wei Yanwu. Here, buildings stood tall, transportation was developed, and the pace of development was extraordinary. Lungmen had already become one of the important economic and cultural centers of the Flame Country and even Terra.
It was a city of tolerance, where people of various races and regions existed in this prosperous city. But tolerance also meant that conflicts and chaos could easily arise. Just like now.
In front of a quiet factory, a group of people gathered silently outside the door. This was a Lungmen Guard Bureau arrest operation. The superior leading this operation was Ch’en, the Senior Superintendent of the Lungmen Guard Bureau and head of the Special Inspection Team.
"Everyone! Prepare to attack!" Ch’en, the dragon girl, wearing long boots, short hot pants, and a black Lungmen Guard Bureau police jacket, violently kicked open the large door of a factory.
"Lungmen Guard Bureau! Everyone put down your weapons!" Ch’en was the first to rush into the factory, her black standard blade pointed directly inside. Her sharp eyes scanned around. Every person inside the factory was fierce and evil-looking, holding blades and steel pipe weapons.
"Damn it! It’s the Lungmen Guard Bureau!" The factory instantly became chaotic due to Ch’en’s arrival. Behind Ch’en, all those who rushed into the factory with her were police officers in Lungmen Guard Bureau uniforms. Some of these thugs picked up weapons and tried to resist, while others were scared out of their wits and ran away. Ch’en’s eyes were sharp as she charged forward once more, yelling, "Shut the hell up! Don’t even think about running, you punks!"
