Chapter 15: It is easy to get the supreme treasure, but it is hard to get the sword immortal to keep his promise
Li Chengfeng stepped into the hospital where Qi Xiang was with the dampness of the rainy night. It was not yet nine o'clock, and the inpatient department was still brightly lit.
Li Ping'an was lying on the glass outside the intensive care unit, staring at the people inside without blinking. When he saw Li Chengfeng coming, he threw himself into his arms.
"Uncle, they said Brother Xiao Qi might become a vegetable."
Although Qi Xiang's operation was successful and saved his life, he suffered a brain injury during the fight. The doctor said that if he does not wake up in the next few days, he will most likely become a vegetable.
Li Ping'an is still young and doesn't understand what being in a vegetative state means, but she is not stupid. From the suppressed crying of the female police officer at the public security station, she probably understands that being in a vegetative state is not a good thing.
So when Li Chengfeng came back, she immediately asked him eagerly: "Uncle, what is a vegetable?"
Li Chengfeng thought for a moment and replied, "A vegetative person is someone you can't wake up."
"Ah, why can't I wake him up?" Looking at Qi Xiang lying in the middle of a pile of medical instruments, who couldn't be woken up by the constant "beeping" sounds, Li Ping'an's mouth pursed, revealing a crying expression, "Ping'an wants little brother Qi to wake up."
She didn't want Brother Xiao Qi to become a vegetable.
Li Chengfeng certainly knew how terrible it was for an ordinary person to become a vegetable. Good health is more important than anything else. Qi Xiang risked his life to save Li Pingan.
He touched Li Ping'an's head and asked, "Do you want to see Brother Xiao Qi?"
Li Pingan nodded, "I want to."
"In that case, uncle will help you wake him up."
Li Chengfeng raised his hand and summoned Qi Xiang's soul.
Qi Xiang's soul had left his body and he was apparently still in a coma, feeling somewhat dazed and confused until he saw Li Ping'an outside the glass window and suddenly woke up.
"Ping'an, get out of here quickly, it's dangerous!" Qi Xiang ran towards Li Ping'an and wanted to pick her up.
"Brother Xiao Qi, you finally woke up!" Li Ping'an saw Qi Xiang outside the glass window, opened his arms excitedly, and wanted to throw himself into his arms.
One big and one small ran in both directions, and then passed each other.
Qi Xiang who came up empty-handed:? ? ?
Li Pingan, who came up empty-handed:? ? ?
What's going on? Come again!
"Safe, Danger!"
"Brother Xiao Qi, wake up!"
? How come I came up empty-handed again?
Come again.
"Safety!"
"Brother Xiao Qi!"
…
After this happened several times, Li Chengfeng, who couldn't stand it any longer, finally stopped the two.
He grabbed Li Ping'an by the back of her collar to stop her from playing the interactive game with Qi Xiang, and then said to Qi Xiang: "Don't play anymore. Your soul is out of your body now and you can't touch a living person."
Qi Xiang then realized that Li Chengfeng was also there, and he touched the back of his head and greeted him: "Uncle, you are here too, when did you come here?"
Wait, what did he just say?
The soul leaves the body! ?
If the soul leaves the body, won’t it become something else?
Qi Xiang was obviously confused when he suddenly found out that he had become a ghost. He stood there for two seconds, lowered his head, looked at Li Pingan who was standing next to him but he couldn't touch him, and raised his hand again.
It was so magical that he could actually see Li Pingan through his hands.
Qi Xiang was in a daze, as if in a dream.
Even though he was a policeman and had witnessed countless strange things while handling cases, and had long since developed a will of steel, at this moment he didn't know how ordinary people would react when they learned of his death.
Should I break down and cry, tearing my hair out as if I were possessed by Ke Yun, and shouting, “No—I don’t believe it—”
Or should I laugh crazily, look up to the sky and shout: "Eighteen years later, I am a brave man again!"
Or he could rush forward and give Li Chengfeng a big fight, telling him: "What a joke! Do you think this new scam can fool me?"
Neither.
When death was imminent, his first reaction was: "Has the criminal who kidnapped Li Ping'an been caught?"
If the criminal is not caught, Ping An will be in danger. This kind of desperado dares to rob people under the nose of the public security station in broad daylight. Who knows what kind of unscrupulous evil things he will do in the future. He must be brought to justice as soon as possible.
Seeing Qi Xiang's serious expression, Li Chengfeng nodded and said, "Before coming here, I have already dealt with the people who hurt you."
Just deal with it, just deal with it.
Qi Xiang breathed a sigh of relief, but then he noticed something was wrong.
Wait, why do we need to use the word "process"?
Did the uncle...kill the criminal? ?
This is not the way he wants to deal with it!
Qi Xiang said nervously: "Uncle, what did you do to the prisoner?"
"What are you thinking?" Li Chengfeng said calmly, "I am a good citizen who abides by the law. Of course I will hand them over to the law enforcement agencies and let the law punish them."
So that's how it is. Qi Xiang's heart finally settled down, and he felt relieved.
While feeling relieved, I couldn't help but laugh at myself.
I am truly a chosen worker. I will still think about my work even when I die.
Who can’t help but praise this professionalism as “King of Rolls”?
But no matter how hard his life went, there would eventually come a day when he would lie in the grave. After asking about work, Qi Xiang finally had time to mourn for himself.
He observed silence for a long, long time.
Until the lights in the inpatient department were turned off little by little, and the noisy voices gradually quieted down.
Everything was quiet and everyone began to fall asleep.
Tomorrow, the sun will rise as usual and people will start a new day.
But some people will never see tomorrow's sun.
Li Chengfeng quietly waited for Qi Xiang to finish his moment of silence, and only spoke when he opened his eyes again, "I came here this time to ask if you have any unfulfilled wishes? You saved Ping An's life, and I am willing to make you a promise."
Li Chengfeng has been cultivating immortality for five thousand years. He never makes promises to anyone easily, but once he makes a promise, he always keeps his word.
There is a famous saying in the world of cultivating immortals: It is easy to obtain supreme treasures, but it is hard to obtain the promise of a sword immortal.
What's more, he himself is like a 'bug'-level existence to this world. If he doesn't take action, it's fine. But if he does, it will definitely be earth-shattering.
Now I just hope Qi Xiang’s wish is not to destroy the world, otherwise he can only say “sorry” to this world.
Qi Xiang had an opportunity that countless people dreamed of, but he shook his head and said, "It is my duty to save Ping An. I don't need Ping An to repay me for anything."
Everyone is destined to die, there is nothing to repay.
From the day he chose this profession, he was ready to die in the line of duty.
"What's more, when I saw Ping An, I thought of my brother." Qi Xiang put his hand on top of Li Ping An's head and made a gesture of patting his head. "My brother is about the same age as Ping An, and he is also an extraordinary child."
Li Chengfeng suddenly raised his eyes, "Is your brother an extraordinary child?"
No wonder Qi Xiang is so concerned about the affairs of the superhumans, and no wonder he can recognize several leaders of the Superhuman Administration, the Superhuman Correction Institute and the Superhuman Children's College at once. It turns out that he has relatives who are superhumans.
Qi Xiang nodded and said, "However, my brother is different from Ping An in that he was born a supernatural being. He was sent to a supernatural correction center as soon as he was born to learn how to control his supernatural powers. He can only go home when his supernatural power fluctuation value reaches a stable standard."
Li Pingan had been in the correctional facility for extraordinary people and had a very bad impression of it. When he heard that Qi Xiang's brother was also locked up in the correctional facility, he exclaimed, raised his head and asked nervously: "Has Brother Qi's brother been released from the correctional facility now?"
Hearing her question, Qi Xiang suddenly showed a bitter expression, he shook his head and said: "No."
Li Ping'an exclaimed in disappointment. His younger brother hadn't come out yet. It was so pitiful.
She tugged at Li Chengfeng's sleeve and whispered, "Uncle, let's help Brother Xiao Qi get his brother out of the correctional facility."
In her heart, her uncle is omnipotent. Since he could get her out of the correctional facility, he can definitely rescue Xiao Qi's younger brother.
Compared to destroying the world, this is a simple matter.
Li Chengfeng looked at Qi Xiang, "Is this your wish?"
If this is Qi Xiang's wish, why not break into the Extraordinary Correction Institute again?
Qi Xiang waved his hand and said, "You misunderstood. It's not that the correctional facility is unwilling to let my brother go home. My brother's ability fluctuation value has already reached the standard. He himself is unwilling to go home."
Perhaps because he was separated from his family at a young age, Qi Xiang's younger brother was unwilling to communicate with his family when he grew up, and also refused family visits. He and his parents have never seen his younger brother until now, and can only learn about his brother's situation indirectly through the correctional institution.
When Li Pingan heard Qi Xiang say that his brother didn't want to go home, his eyes widened and a big question filled his little head, "Why would he not want to go home?"
She really couldn't understand why there would be a child who would be willing to stay in a correctional facility and not go home. Home is so nice, with a father and a mother, endless delicious food to eat, and endless toys to play with. She dreamed of going home.
Qi Xiang didn't know why his brother didn't want to go home, so he could only smile bitterly and said, "It's okay if he doesn't go home. He's almost old enough to go to elementary school. Let him go to the Extraordinary Children's Academy and be with other children who are Extraordinary. Maybe he will be happier."
Li Pingan, however, didn't think so. She also liked playing with the children in the welfare home, but if she was asked to choose between going home or staying with the children, she would definitely choose going home.
Moreover, the expression on Brother Xiao Qi's face did not look happy at all. Li Ping'an tilted his head and thought for a while, then asked, "Brother Xiao Qi, will you miss your brother if he doesn't come home?"
How could I not want to?
Qi Xiang sighed, "In the first two years after my brother was sent away, my family cried every day, but there was nothing we could do. We are all ordinary people. We don't know how to teach him how to control his superpowers, and we don't have the ability to raise a supernatural being to grow up healthily. Sending my brother to a correctional institution was the best option for him at the time."
Qi Xiang thought: "My brother might be angry with us, so he doesn't want to go home."
Unexpectedly, Li Pingan directly denied him after hearing it: "No!"
Li Pingan said crisply: "It's not like that. Since Brother Xiaoqi misses me, then I must miss Brother Xiaoqi too. It's just that he feels that you don't want him anymore, so he doesn't dare to go home."
Seeing the serious application on the little Li Ping'an's face, Qi Xiang was stunned.
He always thought that his younger brother didn't want to go home, and never thought that his younger brother was afraid to go home.
Why is my brother afraid to go home?
Home should be a warm harbor, when did it become a terrifying place?
"How could this happen? How could he think that we didn't want him?" Qi Xiang murmured, "We just chose the best path for him."
He spoke incoherently, "My brother may think that we abandoned him, but we really didn't... We kept his room at home, waiting for him to come back. I wrote to him every month, but he never replied... After graduation, I gave up a better opportunity in City B and came to City C to work because I knew my brother would come to the Extraordinary Children's Academy in City C, and I wanted to be closer to him... My parents and I really never thought of giving up on him."
He said so many words, explained to Li Pingan over and over again, trying desperately to express how much he was looking forward to meeting his brother, but Li Pingan defeated him with just one sentence.
She asked innocently, "Brother Xiao Qi, have you told your brother these words? If you don't tell him, how will he know your feelings?"
