Three days later, in a cemetery in the slums of Luanning District, Lin Bai and Chi Chen quietly stayed in front of the tombstone for half a day.
Let's go!
Lin Bai suddenly stood up, wiped away his tears, and spoke to Chi Chen beside him.
Chi Chen nodded without saying anything, but gave Lin Bai a hug. Then the two of them looked at Chen Sheng, who had been with them for half a day.
Lin Bai approached Chen Sheng, bowed to him, and thanked him.
"Thank you, Uncle Chen!"
Chen Sheng reached out and gently patted Lin Bai's shoulder without saying much. He knew that these two teenagers would gradually grow up from today onwards. Perhaps such things would happen many times in their future lives, but they had to learn to accept and let go.
Chen Sheng turned around, his slightly weary eyes looking in a certain direction in the cemetery, where several tombstones stood quietly, as if they were forever watching over the chaotic Ning District below.
"Let's go, starting today, you will begin a different life!"
Chen Sheng withdrew his gaze, strode forward, and led the two boys down the mountain.
...
In front of the fried chicken shop, Chi Chen and Lin Bai exchanged a glance, then looked at Chen Sheng at the same time.
Weren't we supposed to be going to the Secret Squad's base? Why are we eating fried chicken with them instead?
Moreover, Chi Chen had once passed by this fried chicken shop and saw someone walking out of it cursing and spitting at the entrance before leaving.
Seeing the two men's puzzled looks, Chen Sheng coughed twice and said:
"You'll find out when you go in!"
Then Chen Sheng led the two, who were full of questions, into the fried chicken shop.
Inside the store, Zhang Rong, dressed in a uniform, frowned as he looked at the fried chicken pieces in front of him. How did this fried chicken turn out like this?
That's not how it's portrayed in the movie, is it?
Do I really not have the talent to be a prostitute?
No, it must be the chicken's fault.
"Ahem! Captain, I've brought the person back!"
Seeing that Zhang Rong hadn't made a move, Chen Sheng had no choice but to interrupt the somewhat dazed Zhang Rong.
"New people have arrived? Oh, and two of them at once?"
Before Zhang Rong could speak, a fair-skinned young man of about twenty years old, wearing a brimmed hat that covered half of his face, came out of the kitchen and looked at Chi Chen and Lin Bai with great interest.
Chen Sheng spoke with slight surprise:
"Qingsheng, you're back so soon?"
As Qing Sheng was sizing up Chi Chen, Chi Chen also looked at him. The moment their eyes met, Chi Chen seemed to see a flash of golden light in Qing Sheng's eyes. Then, he felt as if his head had been hit by something, and he suddenly felt like he had short-circuited for a second. Fortunately, the feeling disappeared quickly.
But when Chi Chen's eyes refocused, he saw Qing Sheng's slightly surprised expression.
Similarly, Lin Bai, who was standing next to Chi Chen, suddenly shivered, feeling as if he had lost a few seconds.
"Are you asking for a beating again, you little rascal?"
Zhang Rong stepped out from behind the bar, tapped Qing Sheng on the back of the head, and then walked up to Chi Chen and Lin Bai with a smile, saying:
"Hello, I am Zhang Rong, the captain of the Secret Squad stationed in Luan Ning District by the Secret Squad! That kid's name is Qing Sheng. He doesn't mean you any harm, he's just a bit mischievous!"
"Captain, don't talk nonsense. I've always taken a mature and steady approach. Hello, my name is Qingsheng. Sorry for what happened earlier, I got a little excited to see a newcomer!"
Qingsheng stepped forward and gave the two of them a bright, sunny smile.
"Hello, my name is Chi Chen!"
"My name is Lin Bai!"
Chi Chen glanced at Qing Sheng. The golden light that flashed in his eyes just now must have been his forbidden ability. He just didn't know what the specific effects were. Would it cause hallucinations? Or would it cause mental blankness?
Then Chi Chen turned his gaze to Zhang Rong in front of him. He didn't sense anything unusual about him. It was as if the person standing in front of him was just an ordinary middle-aged man who was a bit tall and strong. However, Chi Chen, who knew about the Secret Slayer Bureau, knew that the man in front of him who could serve as the captain of the Secret Slayer Squad of District One was definitely not as simple as he appeared.
"Haha, okay, come on, let's not rush everything else. Let's try my new fried chicken first! How does it taste?"
Zhang Rong warmly embraced the two of them, and then, amidst their puzzled expressions, led them to the bar.
Seeing this, Qing Sheng and Chen Sheng tried to slip away, but Zhang Rong called out to them, so they could only go forward with bitter faces.
Chi Chen and Lin Bai looked at each other, then at the reasonably-looking fried chicken on the bar, their minds filled with even more questions.
Is the main business of the Secret Slayer Bureau fried chicken? And is slaying the mysterious just a side job?
Chi Chen glanced at Chen Sheng and Qing Sheng, who hadn't made a move yet, and felt a slight sense of unease. However, seeing the expectant look in Zhang Rong's eyes, Chi Chen and Lin Bai couldn't refuse the captain's kindness.
Then the two of them each picked up a piece of chicken and put it in their mouths. As soon as the chicken entered their mouths, Chi Chen felt as if his taste buds had exploded. At the same time, Chi Chen quietly reached out a hand and pinched Lin Bai's wrist.
Lin Bai subtly pinched him back, and then the two boys, who had grown up together wearing open-crotch pants, tacitly pretended that nothing had happened and ate the fried chicken.
Chi Chen even gave Zhang Rong a thumbs up while chewing.
Upon seeing this, Chen Sheng and Qing Sheng exchanged a glance. What was going on?
Could the captain have really succeeded? No way, having endured so much torment, they instinctively began to doubt.
"You two should try it too! Didn't you see Chi Chen give me a thumbs up?"
Zhang Rong served the fried chicken to the two of them.
Knowing they couldn't avoid it, Chen Sheng and Qing Sheng each reached out and took a piece.
Maybe it really does taste good?
Then, the fried chicken enters the mouth!
A moment later, Zhang Rong looked at the four figures squatting by the door, still rinsing their mouths, and his expression turned slightly unpleasant.
"Sure enough, although he didn't awaken the forbidden, his spiritual power has already reached the realm of enlightenment, even surpassing Lin Bai who awakened annihilation. What exactly is that mysterious rune on his chest? And what is that blazing white light he mentioned?"
Zhang Rong stared at Chi Chen's retreating figure, lost in thought. Five years ago, on that night, even though Zhang Rong had searched through all the information and asked everyone around Chi Chen's residence, he still couldn't find any clues about the blazing white light.
In other words, only Chi Chen saw that white light? Or did he think he saw it?
...
In the basement of the fried chicken shop, Chi Chen and Lin Bai stared blankly at the space in front of them, which was about one and a half football fields in size.
Who would have thought that a fried chicken shop that makes extremely bad fried chicken would have such a big secret place underground?
Inside the vast basement, one area was set up as a shooting range, displaying all sorts of firearms and equipment, while another area had a lot of exercise equipment. In the center, there was an open space that looked more dilapidated than the other areas, with many scratches of varying depths on the floor, which was made of some kind of alloy.
"Our secret squad is called 'Azure Face,' and we have eight members. Five of them are currently in the Chaotic Ning District. Besides the three of us, two others are patrolling the east and west sides respectively, and they haven't returned yet! You should be able to meet them tonight! They're nice guys; I'll introduce you to them then."
Zhang Rong led the two to the front of the shooting range, explaining the current personnel situation of the Green Face Squad as they walked.
"Come on, Lin Bai, unleash your full power of annihilation on that target!"
Zhang Rong pointed to a target in the shooting range and said to Lin Bai.
Upon hearing this, Lin Bai took a deep breath and stepped forward. Apart from that night, this was the first time he had used his forbidden ability.
Lin Bai's spirits trembled slightly, and a special power emanated from his body. Then, Lin Bai extended his finger.
"Smack!"
As the snap of the fingers rang out, a black hole the size of a thumb appeared out of thin air within the shooting range.
"boom!"
Then, a loud roar rang out, and the power and heat wave from the explosion instantly swept towards Zhang Rong and the other two.
But in just a moment, the explosive power generated by the annihilation black hole vanished instantly, as if it had never existed. However, within the firing range, all the targets were shattered into powder.
