Old Duan did not take Chen Chu into the office building.
Instead, they went to the backyard.
The backyard here is quite spacious; you can't tell it from outside the police station building.
Chen Chu glanced around and noticed that there was actually a separate internal hospital here.
There is also a huge playground, garage, warehouse, and so on.
In front of them was also a park promenade.
The sides of the corridor feature stone reliefs.
Old Duan led Chen Chu to a stop beside the relief sculpture.
"This is?"
The relief is covered with a dense array of names.
"Third line, tenth name!"
Old Duan's face was solemn, as if he were silently saluting the name on the relief.
Chen Chu's gaze fell on the tenth name in the third line.
With just one glance, his pupils contracted sharply.
His spiritual power erupted uncontrollably.
boom!
Without any warning, the aura of the Spirit Realm players exploded!
Green flames appeared in his pupils.
Chen Chu took a deep breath, suppressing his excitement.
"Old Duan, what... what is this?"
"This is a list of all the official members who went to the Jade Ripples Mountain Spirit Realm back then!"
Mr. Duan added in a heavy tone.
"I'm up there too!"
Chen Chu was startled.
My eyes searched the list, and at the very end, I spotted a name.
Duan Gao!
Is this Mr. Duan's name?
Chen Chu's gaze returned to the tenth name in the third row.
Chen Laoliu!
When I saw this name.
In Chen Chu's mind, that closed gate opened uncontrollably.
Countless fragments of memories surged toward him relentlessly.
"Hahaha, Dad, I'm the sixth child in my family. Your grandparents weren't very educated, so I'm called Chen Laoliu (Old Six Chen). So many years have passed, and I've been too lazy to change my name."
A tall, middle-aged man with short hair and a rugged face patted Chen Chu's head.
"You're lucky, hehe. Your old man is educated, so I gave you a good name: 'Never Forget Your Original Intention,' Xiao Chu. Remember it?"
"I know, it's about staying true to our original aspirations. And Dad, don't pat my head, I'm all grown up now!"
Boom!
In the blink of an eye, another image appeared in my mind.
Thunder roared outside, and rain poured down!
It seemed that all sorts of ghostly wails and howls could be heard.
The entire sky seemed to be filled with thunder.
"You're an adult now, you need to take good care of Xiao Tuan. I have some things I have to take care of!"
Chen Chu watched as the middle-aged man picked up the ancient longsword hanging on the wall.
"Dad, are you going hunting in Yulan Mountain again?"
"Hehe, that's right. If we go hunting and let those wild animals rush down the mountain, the people will suffer."
Chen Laoliu patted Chen Chu on the shoulder and affectionately stroked Xiao Tuan's head.
"Wait for me to come back and I'll cook for you!"
Snap!
In a flash of lightning, Chen Laoliu put on his baseball cap, strolled in the rain, and completely disappeared into the torrential night.
That departure lasted for fourteen years!
That night, Chen Chu looked out the window and seemed to see a sword light slicing through the sky, as well as a giant dragon cut in half at the waist.
He held the baby in his arms and hid inside the house, not daring to go out.
All of that seemed like a hallucination he saw when he was afraid, which he had buried deep in his memory.
Old Duan, who was standing to the side, also recalled some memories from back then.
"When the Jade Mountain Spirit Realm first appeared, it caused many dungeon riots, and many of the dungeon creatures also escaped."
"In order to suppress this dungeon riot, our official team deployed more than 300 players, but only a handful survived."
Chen Chu remained silent for a moment. He also saw the name Meng Zhengyang after Chen Laoliu's name.
It seems that Elder Duan knew what Chen Chu was thinking.
"Meng Zhengyang's team dispatched more than eighty experts, but only two of them came out alive."
"Because of his unique profession, Meng Zhengyang has been guarding the Jade Ripples Mountain Spirit Realm."
"By the way, we now call the Jade Ripples Mountain Spirit Realm Spirit Realm No. 117."
The No. 117 Spirit Realm? Could it refer to the No. 117 Martyrs' Cemetery?
Having said all that, Chen Chuxin had already made up her mind about many things.
He used to think that Uncle Meng was just a keeper of the martyrs' cemetery on Yulan Mountain.
All he knew was that Uncle Meng was his father's comrade-in-arms.
However, on the night he awakened, after learning that Meng Zhengyang was also a Spirit Realm player, he had already vaguely guessed something.
Now we can finally confirm it.
My dad wasn't an ordinary person back then; he was indeed a player in the Spirit Realm.
Chen Chu looked at Elder Duan and said, "Since you know that I am a descendant of a Spirit Realm player and have this relationship, why were you so cold to me that night?"
Chen Chu was referring to that night when they stood by and did nothing.
A rare hint of apology appeared on Old Duan's face.
“I was prepared that day. If you were in danger, I would also give you a treatment. It’s just that Meng Zhengyang appeared earlier.”
"Moreover, at the time we were not sure whether the reason for your awakening was related to Spirit Realm No. 117."
"After all, the commotion caused by Spirit Realm No. 117 back then was too great, and we have to treat it with caution."
Old Duan said with a hint of helplessness.
"Moreover, we didn't know your identity at the time; your identity and connections were concealed by headquarters."
"Otherwise, given your status as a descendant of a martyr, you would have been recruited into the Ministry of Security long ago. Even if you hadn't awakened, you would have been trained as a civilian employee."
Chen Chu frowned. His identity had been deliberately concealed. Was it because of his father?
"If you hadn't performed so well in this trial instance, I wouldn't have known that you were Captain Chen's son."
Old Duan seemed to have a sense of感慨 about the passage of time.
No wonder he has the air of an old friend; he is the son of an old friend!
Old Duan seemed to remember something and chuckled, "Your cautious and prudent personality is indeed somewhat similar to that of Lao Liu."
Chen Chu's feelings were somewhat complicated.
In any case, today he finally learned some things about his father's past.
Old Duan looked at Chen Chu with a kind smile once again.
"So, kid, now that you know a bit about your old man's past, are you considering joining our Qingjiang District Security Department?"
Chen Chu understood perfectly.
"So, Mr. Duan, you brought me here today to try and appeal to my emotions?"
"Hehe, you really are just like Lao Liu."
Old Duan didn't shy away from anything, "That's right, I was just playing the emotional card, we're family after all."
Chen Chu was surprised by Duan Lao's frankness. After thinking for a moment, he said solemnly.
"I am willing to join the Qingjiang District Security Department."
A relieved smile appeared on Old Duan's face, but Chen Chu said something else.
"But I have one condition!"
