Armor: Shura appears at the beginning

Chapter 133: Robbed Again

As night falls, a man and a woman, holding cameras, walk side by side through the quiet streets.

Xiaodie asked softly, "Brother Xiaosong, are you not going to be a reporter anymore?"

Xiaosong nodded slightly, and after a moment's silence, he replied, "It's not that I don't want to be the boss at all."

"I have been in this field since I graduated from college, and I was full of passion at first," he added. "Even if the income is meager, it can't stop me from loving and devoting myself to this job."

Xiaosong's eyes seemed a little deep. He continued: "However, as time went by, I began to feel a little tired and confused. I began to question myself. As a journalist, what was my original intention? Was it for a living, or to pursue a higher ideal?"

He frowned, as if trying to find the answer: "I realized that since I became a reporter, I may not have really done much meaningful work. At the beginning, I chased celebrity gossip, like a puppet being pulled, doing the so-called 'paparazzi' work."

"But when I encountered supernatural events such as Armor Heroes and Supernatural Beasts, I felt unprecedented excitement and curiosity." Xiaosong's eyes sparkled.

"I am eager to explore these unknown worlds, so I took the initiative to apply to investigate these supernatural events. For me, this is a truly meaningful job."

"It turns out that when interests and work are integrated, it can indeed bring unexpected gains." Xiaosong said with emotion.

"I was fortunate to capture the moments of fierce battles between the Armored Heroes and the Monsters many times, unveiling their mysterious veil and knowing their life trajectories as ordinary people."

"I learned about the human identities behind the Armored Warriors, and even their bases and contacts," he continued, "Initially, I was eager to gain fame and fortune by exposing these secrets and reach the pinnacle of my career."

However, Xiaosong's tone gradually became heavy: "But as time went on, I gradually realized that this behavior was not what I wanted. Just like chasing celebrity gossip in the past, I was also infringing on the rights of the Armor Warriors by exposing their privacy."

"I might be praised by my superiors and peers for this. But what about the people summoned by the armor?" he asked himself and answered himself, "Their lives of hiding their identities will be seriously disturbed, and even in the battle against evil forces, they will expose more weaknesses and face greater dangers."

Xiaosong took a deep breath and continued, "When Mr. Lin wanted me to expose the dark side of Xiaoya Textile Group, but encountered obstruction and criticism from my superiors, I was completely confused. I began to seriously think about whether I was really suitable to continue on this career path."

Xiaodie pursed her lips and said to Xiaosong softly, "My experience is indeed different from yours. I went to an ordinary university, and after graduation I just casually chose the job of a reporter. If you really want to ask me why I chose this career, to be honest, I can't explain it clearly. Maybe I just wanted to find a job as soon as possible after graduation and no longer rely on my parents."

She paused, a look of determination flashing in her eyes: "But if someone asks me what a journalist should do, I will answer without hesitation - to be a light, to illuminate those who are in darkness. We journalists should speak for the people, punish evil and promote good."

Hearing this, Xiaosong could not help but stop and stood there in a daze. He repeated in a low voice: "Punish evil and promote good..."

Yes, he realized that this was the true mission of a journalist.

Seeing Xiaosong's big reaction, Xiaodie waved her hands shyly: "Ah, these words were actually what I heard from my leader during the training, and I didn't take them to heart. Most of the journalists nowadays are probably like you, pursuing hot topics and making money to support their families. There's nothing wrong with that, after all, that's how life is."

Xiaodie sighed and continued, "In the past month, I have seen many things that I can't see in school. Sometimes, I really want to change something." Her eyes flashed with expectation and determination for the future.

Although Xiaodie has the desire to change the world, she also understands her limitations and can only go with the flow and do her best. She looks at Xiaosong with a hint of concern in her eyes.

"That's true, but thank you anyway!" Xiaosong came back to his senses and said to Xiaodie sincerely. The sadness on his face had mostly disappeared, replaced by a smile.

"Eh? Really?" Xiaodie was a little surprised. She didn't expect her words would have such a big impact on Xiaosong. "Although I don't know how I helped Brother Xiaosong, but... you don't have to be so polite."

She paused and added, "Compared to your life-saving grace, this is nothing." When Xiaodie mentioned this, her face turned even redder.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became somewhat ambiguous, and Xiaosong also felt a little embarrassed. He touched his head, blushed, and said, "Ah, this... let's not talk about this. Anyway, thank you for helping me find my direction again."

The two smiled at each other, and the distance between them seemed to be shortened.

Suddenly, a sharp and sharp sound of a motorcycle engine broke the harmonious atmosphere between the two. A motorcycle came speeding from behind them, and the driver had a fierce look in his eyes. He took advantage of the moment when the two were stunned and snatched Xiaodie's bag.

“Take it here you——!!!” the motorcyclist shouted arrogantly, his voice echoing in the empty street.

Xiaodie and Xiaosong were stunned for a moment. This scene was somewhat familiar to them, but it was so sudden. Xiaodie's exclamation, accompanied by the roar of the motorcycle, echoed in their hearts.

......

Xiaodie and Xiaosong were stunned when they heard the laughter of the man in the leather jacket, but then they immediately reacted and shouted in unison:

"and many more!"

"Stop it!!!"

Ah Lang heard the shouts from behind and laughed even more triumphantly, mockingly saying while driving his motorcycle:

“Stop? Hahahaha!!!”

"Do you think I'm a fool?"

"I will stop if you tell me to?"

His arrogant laughter echoed in the streets, but just as he got carried away, the violent virus in his body suddenly broke out.

"what--!!!"

Ah Lang suddenly screamed, and the intense pain surged like a tide, his body shaking uncontrollably. He tried to stabilize the motorcycle, but it was too late. The motorcycle rushed out of control towards the flower bed on the side of the road, and he himself fell heavily from the motorcycle.

Xiaodie and Xiaosong were delighted when they saw this, knowing that their chance had come. They hurriedly walked towards Alang, who was lying on the ground and wailing in pain. Xiaosong looked around vigilantly to make sure there were no other accomplices, while Xiaodie squatted down and looked at Alang, who was in great pain.

"You are so proud?" Xiaodie said coldly, "Is this your retribution?"

Ah Lang groaned in pain and was unable to answer.

Xiaosong quickly picked up the bag on the ground and handed it to Xiaodie. Then he looked down at Alang who was struggling in pain and said in a cold voice:

"That's right, you have hands and feet, what can't you do? Why do you have to do this kind of thing!"

Xiaodie stood behind Xiaosong and said angrily: "This is the second time! And in such a short period of time! I have only been robbed twice in my life."

Xiao Song sighed helplessly and shook his head, "These thieves and robbers really don't know what's good for them. They leave the truly wealthy people alone and choose to rob ordinary people like us. Even if they can rob some, how much money can they get? And the risk is so great."

Although robbing rich people is risky, as long as you succeed once, you won't have to take risks again for a long time. These thieves and robbers are really short-sighted.

"Xiaosong, do you think this person's situation is...particularly unusual?" Xiaodie looked at Alang, who was struggling in pain on the ground with a distorted expression, with a hint of uneasiness in her voice.

An inexplicable fear surged in her heart, and she secretly wondered: "Could this be a sign of some unknown disease?"

Xiaosong frowned, also confused by the scene before his eyes. He pondered in his mind: "Is he really sick? Or is there something else going on?"

He couldn't help but guess: "Perhaps, his previous actions were all a cover, and his real purpose was to blackmail?"

"Stop pretending!" Xiaosong tried to break the silence and said firmly, "There are surveillance cameras here, don't try to play any tricks."

However, Alang's pain at the moment was not a disguise. He roared, "Shut up! You ignorant guys!"

"Get away! I don't want to hurt you!" His voice was full of despair and anger.

But Xiaosong was not going to give up. He said firmly: "We will not let you continue to harm others! We must take you to the police station!"

Xiaodie heard these words and her eyes flashed with admiration. She deeply admired Xiaosong's sense of justice.

However, at this moment, Alang suddenly burst out with amazing strength. He struggled to stand up with a ferocious expression on his face.

"Then, today, you all have to die here!" His voice was full of threats.

As soon as he finished speaking, a strange dark purple energy suddenly emerged around his body, and the light flashed. Then, his body underwent amazing changes.

The original human image gradually disappeared, replaced by a monster wearing a hat, with a skull head and eyes glowing dark green.

This scene shocked Xiaosong and Xiaodie. They exclaimed in unison: "This is... Oxer!"

In the sudden fright, Xiaosong and Xiaodie's faces turned pale in an instant, and they both retreated involuntarily.

They never expected that the seemingly ordinary robber in front of them was actually Oxer!

"This is really bad..."

Xiaosong's voice trembled, his face was as pale as paper, and the fear in his heart surged like a tide.

He thought to himself that he might be able to handle ordinary humans, but facing a monster like Oxer, how could an ordinary person like him be able to fight back?

The two men fell into a desperate situation. At this moment, the angry and deformed Alang approached them step by step with heavy steps.

The murderous intent in his eyes seemed to devour the two of them, and he vowed to put them to death.

However, at this critical moment, a leisurely sound of footsteps broke the tense atmosphere.

"Da da da……"

"who is it?!"

The three of them were startled at the same time, and their eyes all turned to the direction where the sound came from.

Then, a mysterious figure appeared in their sight. He was wearing a black hat and sunglasses, which concealed his true face and made it impossible to see his true identity.

Xiaosong and Xiaodie looked at each other, their hearts full of confusion.

"Who exactly is this guy?" Xiaodie asked softly, her eyes full of confusion.

"Yeah, why did he appear at this time?" Xiaosong was also puzzled, "Is it a coincidence, or..."

Before they had time to think deeply, they saw Alang, the originally hideous skeleton Oxer, suddenly regained his human form.

He glared at Xiaodie and Xiaosong, as if he was full of dissatisfaction with them, then quickly walked to the motorcycle parked nearby, got on the bike, and disappeared into the night in the blink of an eye.

"He's gone just now?" Xiao Song's eyes widened, staring at A Lang's departing back in disbelief. "He left without doing anything?"

He certainly wasn't naive enough to think that it was because of his and Xiaodie's heroic performance that Ah Lang backed down. As ordinary people, they simply had no ability to make such a monster back down.

Therefore, the doubts in their hearts became even deeper - Alang's departure must be related to the mysterious man in black!

Xiaosong hurriedly turned around to look for the mysterious man, but the scene was empty.

"Where is he?" Xiaosong shouted in surprise, "When did he leave?"

Xiaodie also looked around, but also couldn't find any trace of that person. The two stood there, looking at each other, their eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

"Let's leave here first and go to Happy House to find Duanmu and the others." Xiaosong quickly calmed down and realized that it was not safe to stay here. He was worried that Oxer or the mysterious man might appear again at any time and bring unnecessary trouble to the two of them.

Xiaodie nodded in agreement, and the two left the scene quickly without staying for too long. They trotted all the way, heading straight for the Happy House.

In the night, the figures of the two gradually disappeared in the distance.
