Chapter 27 Happy time is about to begin...?
Fear originates from the unknown. And after understanding the true nature, fear loses its source. Initially hearing he was being targeted, Li Lin honestly felt a bit nervous. But after hearing the true nature of the cultists targeting him, Li Lin just felt it was nothing much.
It wasn't him bragging; Lungmen, if not leading all of Terra in public security, was at least famous. The reason lay in its vast mercenary force system and internal promotion structure. Moreover, the police system was basically trained by Yan Country and Victoria, plus occasionally inviting some famous mercenaries to impart experience; the Lungmen Guard Bureau and related structures themselves could be called an elite force. Plus, being rich recently, several specialized departments were added.
Now there was even a specialized Caster unit serving in Lungmen, providing information and work related to Originium Arts and spells.
In other words, Li Lin felt that after experiencing so many messy bombing news, he suddenly found he wasn't greatly affected. He was still that ordinary person living a plain and quiet life in Lungmen… perhaps turning into Batman at night to punish evil?
However, Ch'en had also assured him during their conversation that it would mostly be about using Li Lin's special premonitions and signs to lock onto enemies; those frontal assaults and transactions had nothing to do with him. He would just go to Penguin Logistics after work each day, report to Ch'en's side, drink tea and read newspapers, look into things if something came up, and rest aside if nothing happened. This made Li Lin, who didn't like conflict, very satisfied.
After the two discussed related topics for a while, they both left satisfied. Regarding each other's state, both Ch'en and Li Lin were very optimistic.
A serious and responsible good police officer, a warm-hearted and helpful good citizen; what kind of sparks could ignite between the two? Nothing more than the fish-and-water relationship between the army and the people , right? Li Lin paid the bill with the red envelope given by that unnamed female operator, and the two sides friendly greeted each other before quickly parting ways .
For Li Lin, this was also considered taking an epic first step; for the first time, he had a proper meal alone with a legitimate woman. Exusiai didn't count; after all, she was his lifesaver, holding a special place in his heart. From this perspective, this was indeed a breakthrough of zero to some extent. For an otaku to become like this, able to converse normally with a girl, Li Lin felt his roommates' contributions were indispensable.
Although most of the time it was ** (censored/unclear) appearance, but they were beautiful; after a long time, one develops resistance, right?
Li Lin incidentally bought two bags of food on the way, preparing to stuff them in the fridge back home; anyway, it was free money, not spending it would be a waste. But walking downstairs to the Penguin Logistics dormitory, he found it was eerily pitch black above. Contrasted with the brightly lit buildings around, it looked unusually strange.
"Why aren't the lights on? Did they go out at night?"
Looking at the pitch-black room, Li Lin walked up and pushed the door open somewhat strangely.
Placing the plastic bag aside, Li Lin muttered, preparing to turn on the lights. Just as his hand reached for the switch, a palm extended out from the darkness, accompanied by a gust of cold wind, and grabbed his wrist. A pair of dark red lights emerged from the corner, emitting a deep voice.
"…Don't move."
"Woah! Sora? What are you doing, scaring people like this?"
Looking at Sora, who slowly walked out from the shadows with a pair of red eyes, Li Lin almost punched her out of fright.
"What's going on here? Squatting here scaring people with the lights off?"
"Power outage."
"Huh? Lungmen can have power outages?"
"It's the power of the heart that's out."
"…Is your head okay?"
"Heh, you definitely don't understand, Li Lin. This kind of pain where everyone is laughing at each other at the starting line, but suddenly discovers someone is almost at the finish line…"
"?????"
"You're happy. But what about me, still in the dark stage? Texas, when will she ever notice me…"
Sigh. You definitely don't understand this feeling, right?
Glancing at Li Lin, Sora, holding a candle with a gloomy expression, shook her head, sighed deeply, and walked around the room. Accompanied by Croissant squatting in the corner holding a wine bottle with her eyes closed as if ascended to heaven, and Angelina trembling and shaking Croissant's body beside her; those who didn't know might think some shamanistic ritual was happening here.
Plus, someone had turned down the central air conditioning by several degrees, cold wind was whistling everywhere. Plus Sora walking silently, and some indistinct, fragmented muttering from somewhere; this eerie atmosphere made Li Lin shiver. He didn't dare say much, nor ask much, didn't even dare ask where Exusiai and Texas were. Brushing off the goosebumps on his arms, he quickly returned to his room.
This bunch probably went crazy again, what kind of strange fit is this.
Li Lin muttered, walking to his room. The moment he opened the door, he saw Lappland sitting calmly on a chair, facing him.
"…"
"Li Lin, come here for a moment."
Damn it, everyone probably collectively lost their minds today.
Looking at Lappland squatting on the bed with a serious expression, Li Lin was completely baffled . The series of events that happened today really made his head spin; towards Lappland's inexplicably serious appearance, Li Lin thought for a moment, then walked over to see what she wanted to do.
And looking at Li Lin obediently walking over to her side, Lappland nodded silently. Then stood up, pulled his head over, leaned in, and sniffed. Rubbing Li Lin's clothes up and down with her hands, like a staff member from some important place, she conducted a thorough inspection. Finally, seemingly not getting the clue she wanted, she sat back down under Li Lin's strange gaze.
"Although you didn't do anything, I still have to say something."
Looking at the inexplicably bewildered Li Lin, Lappland said in a low voice:
"Although love can blossom between races, the state of a chimera is enough to prove it is cursed. You'd better get a genetic check."
"Nonsense . What rubbish are you spouting?"
Still have to deliver packages tomorrow, go to sleep.
Glaring at Lappland, who was spouting some nonsense, Li Lin climbed onto the upper bunk of the double-decker bed and fell asleep with a very calm heart.
But somehow, in his sleep, he always had an inexplicable feeling. As if someone beside him was always muttering some strange words. But in sleep, he couldn't hear them clearly at all. But that voice, filled with envy, jealousy, hatred, and inexplicable curses, made him break out in a cold sweat even in his sleep.
