#135 - Chapter 135 Let’s get to know each other again. My name is Xiang Nanzhi
"Why didn't you mention the merit points?" Li Chenqiu frowned.
From the moment Li Shu walked into the room, Li Chenqiu had been expecting him to tell him about the merit points.
But Li Shu didn't say anything, and Li Chenqiu was too embarrassed to ask directly, as it would seem too deliberate.
"Forget it, let it be."
...
...
Time flies like water, and a month passes in a blink of an eye.
During this time, with the assistance of various cities, City 11 was carrying out post-disaster reconstruction in an orderly manner, gradually bringing people's lives back on track.
After Gong Ran and his wife were killed by Thousand Faces, the Special Abilities Division of City 11 also welcomed a new Director, and the Gong family, like a sandcastle, was scattered by the winds of time...
During this period, Li Chenqiu accepted interviews from dozens of media outlets, large and small, and the leaders of City 11 took turns to express their condolences to him.
The television, newspapers, magazines, and information outlets of City 11...
were all occupied by the three words "Li Chenqiu".
His reputation soared as a result, no longer limited to the small City 11.
In addition, Li Chenqiu also received 1.6 billion Federal Credits.
According to federal law, the Black Feather Vultures he killed all belonged to him.
Considering that he was about to leave City 11, Li Chenqiu sold all the corpses to the Hunter's Association.
Li Chenqiu could have sold them for more money, but unfortunately, the Six-Forbidden Vulture leader was burned to ashes, so it couldn't be sold.
Two Five-Forbidden Black Feather Vultures, one was affected by the battle and died without a complete corpse, and the other was eaten by other Black Feather Vultures, leaving only bones, so they couldn't be sold either.
This made Li Chenqiu feel heartbroken and sleepless for nights.
...
...
May 28th, 6:00 AM, clear weather.
Li Chenqiu put on a mask, pulled his suitcase, and quietly left the ward to go to the place he had agreed upon with Thousand Faces.
The morning breeze carried a hint of coolness, dispelling people's drowsiness.
On the empty pedestrian overpass, Thousand Faces was leaning against the railing, boredly counting the speeding vehicles with his fingers.
Rumble—
Li Chenqiu pulled his suitcase and walked to Thousand Faces' side: "Do you want me to help you count?"
"Who's brain is broken enough to count cars for no reason?" Thousand Faces said without turning his head.
After speaking, he handed the plastic bag he was holding to Li Chenqiu: "It's not good for your stomach to skip breakfast."
Li Chenqiu glanced at the steaming buns in the bag and said, "Thanks, I'll treat you to a scallion pancake next time. Was your battle with the An Tongsi successful last time?"
Thousand Faces tilted his head, brushed the messy bangs in front of his eyes with his fingers, and said smugly:
"That was no pressure for me. I not only killed the Nine-Forbidden captain, but also broke through to the Ten-Forbidden. I estimate that soon the Diswater alias will be classified as Extremely Dangerous, hehe, I'm awesome, right!"
Thousand Faces looked at Li Chenqiu expectantly.
"Awesome." Li Chenqiu gave a thumbs up: "I have a very curious point. You killed the strongest person in that team. Logically speaking, you should have gone on a killing spree, so why did you leave without doing anything?"
Thousand Faces shook his head helplessly: "The vice-captain of that team is called Ying Zhi, and he is a direct descendant of the third generation of the Ying Clan Consortium, and a strong contender for the next An Tongsi Director.
"Such people have protectors secretly guarding them. As long as Ying Zhi's life is threatened, the protector will take action, and if I want to go on a killing spree, I must get past Ying Zhi.
"With the strength of the Diswater alias, I can't beat the protector, so I can only leave."
Li Chenqiu nodded thoughtfully: "There's even a protector, I've learned something."
Thousand Faces asked with a smile: "Are you envious that they have protectors?"
"I don't..."
Li Chenqiu was about to say that he wasn't envious when Thousand Faces directly interrupted him.
"No need to be envious, because from today onwards, you have one too!" Thousand Faces opened his arms and pointed his fingertips at himself.
Li Chenqiu rubbed his nose in a daze and took a step back: "Protector, you?"
"Ta-da, it's me, are you overjoyed? From now on, with me by your side, you don't have to fear anything."
After speaking, Thousand Faces stared at Li Chenqiu, expecting to see a surprised and astonished expression on his face, but reality slapped him hard.
"Why don't we just forget it? If I'm really forced into a desperate situation, I can just turn into mist and run away. I don't feel like I need a protector..." Li Chenqiu's voice became softer and softer as he spoke.
After hearing these words, Thousand Faces was stunned in place like he had been struck by lightning, like he had lost his soul, his whole body devoid of color.
He... he, a dignified Ten-Forbidden Awakened, was rejected, really?
Li Chenqiu waved his hand in front of Thousand Faces' eyes: "Are you okay?"
"I..." Thousand Faces swallowed and said in disbelief: "You don't want me?"
"It's not that I don't want you, it's just... it's just... it's just that someone as strong as you should have more important things to do, it's a waste of talent to use you to protect me," Li Chenqiu hurriedly explained.
He had a lot of secrets, and it would definitely be inconvenient to be watched.
Like the Extreme Fire ability, after revealing this method a month ago, Yan Luowang called a few days later to inquire about it.
Naturally, he couldn't tell about the palace, so he could only muddle through with "I don't know, I don't know, I'm very confused."
Thousand Faces touched his chin and looked at the sky, muttering to himself: "That seems to make sense, but..."
After hearing the word "but", Li Chenqiu's heart, which had just been put down, was raised again: "But what?"
Thousand Faces continued: "But this is a mission from the Underworld, and I don't have the power to refuse, I can only follow you."
Saying that, Thousand Faces took out a string of silver-white bracelets from his pocket and placed it in Li Chenqiu's hand.
"I think what you said makes sense, but protection is still necessary. I won't follow you all the time. If you encounter danger, just break this bracelet," Thousand Faces earnestly instructed.
"Okay!" Li Chenqiu put the bracelet on his left wrist.
"Your Spiritual Xuan artifact is very powerful, and someone will definitely covet it. Those people don't know that this Spiritual Xuan artifact's self-protection mechanism is so fierce, they will definitely send people to attack you, you must pay attention."
Thousand Faces looked at the ring on Li Chenqiu's finger.
"Okay, thank you for the reminder!" Li Chenqiu nodded gratefully.
"Let's go, our car is almost here."
Thousand Faces naturally took Li Chenqiu's suitcase.
"Okay, it's indeed almost here... huh?" Li Chenqiu looked at Thousand Faces in surprise, he had discovered a blind spot.
"Wait a minute!" Li Chenqiu reached out and grabbed Thousand Faces' hand: "Our car is almost here?"
"Didn't Yan Luowang tell you, I'm also participating in the Star Plucking assessment."
Saying that, Thousand Faces snapped his fingers, and his face instantly transformed into that of a handsome youth.
"Let me reintroduce myself, my name is Xiang Nanzhi, from City 5."
