And, maybe... maybe I can go back.
So, watch the sword! Watch the sword!!! Watch the sword!!!
……
After a long time, the manhole cover was slowly pushed open, and Chen Huijie jumped out lightly. He looked up and saw that night had fallen. The veins of the city began to flicker with soft and bright light. The bright lights were like the eyes of the night, waking up one by one. With their different postures, they lit up every corner of the street, paving warm paths of light for people returning home.
In response, Chen Huijie, who was standing in the shadows, lowered his hand from covering his heart, silently wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and turned to walk deeper into the alley.
We've already wasted a lot of time, we need to speed up...
At this moment, a familiar loud voice suddenly sounded:
"Oh, what a coincidence! Margaret, this is the benefactor you are looking for!"
Chapter 105 Chen Huijie, are you crazy?
Margaret came out this time simply to buy groceries. After all, she had just closed her eyes and woke up from another sleep. She couldn't lie in bed any longer. She should get up and move around, otherwise her bones would become loose.
Her aunt was busy in the kitchen, but Sophia's cooking skills were indeed not very good and she had wasted a lot of ingredients. Seeing this, Margaret volunteered to help buy groceries. After all, it was rare for her aunt to be so attentive, so she had to help.
Of course, Margaret also had her own little thoughts. She really didn't want to let Sofia taste the food anymore. Although she was not picky about food, the food she put into her mouth had to at least be edible. If one bite was too salty and the other was too sweet, it was really unbearable.
What Margaret didn't expect was that when she was buying groceries, three big men suddenly appeared and paid for the groceries for her. If she hadn't reacted quickly, they would have knelt down in front of her.
However, Margaret also remembered who they were. They were material merchants at a mobile transit point in the wild. She had bought some food from them. When the natural disaster storm broke out, she had also used the Originium technique to protect them for a period of time.
But you have to make it clear to them that the one who really saved them was not you, but the kind-hearted man who did good deeds without leaving a name and had chivalrous virtues. He is the one they should really thank.
Margaret spoke very seriously, and the three Pelo people also listened very carefully. Then Margaret heard them say:
"We know this. We've already met our great benefactor, Mr. Chen Xiao. But that doesn't affect the fact that you're also our benefactor. If you hadn't protected us with your Originium skills, even if Mr. Chen Xiao wanted to save us, it would have been too late."
Mr. Chen!!!
Margaret was shocked. She didn't expect that she was so lucky. She found the whereabouts of her benefactor just after waking up.
"Benefactor, um, don't get excited..."
Ok?
Margaret was slightly stunned when she heard this. She followed the line of sight of the three people and saw that she had subconsciously used the Originium skill. Now the people around her were dazzled and couldn't open their eyes. Margaret quickly dispersed her Originium skill, apologized to everyone embarrassedly, and then asked the three Pelo people about Mr. Chen.
Then, Margaret felt that she was really lucky today. Before the three Pelo people could say much, they suddenly stopped, sniffed their noses in unison, and said in unison, "The benefactor is nearby." Sure enough, in the alley next door, Margaret saw Mr. Chen.
This benefactor was much younger than he had imagined. He was wearing a black action windbreaker and had an ancient long sword with a strong Da Yan style hanging around his waist.
Even if this figure just quietly comes into view, it naturally exudes a reassuring power, as if it is a solid harbor, providing people with the warmest shelter in times of wind and rain, just like what was seen in the storm. Moreover, this figure also has his face, very handsome.
Margaret felt that she didn't need the help of these three Pelo people to find him. If she met this figure herself, she would probably recognize him at a glance. Mr. Chen's temperament was truly unique.
However, as the night deepened, Mr. Chen's figure, set against the backdrop of darkness, revealed a sense of loneliness and forlornness, like a painting that had been gently forgotten by the world, standing alone outside the hustle and bustle, in sharp contrast to the surrounding prosperity, silently telling his own lonely story.
At this moment, soft moonlight poured quietly into the quiet alley like flowing water. The bright silver light like gauze gently covered him, cloaking him in a layer of mysterious and pure glow. Under the moonlight, he seemed to have become a lone walker in the night, resonating with the silence around him, forming a breathtaking picture.
At this moment, Margaret felt her heart skip a beat.
"It's you, is something wrong?"
Chen Huijie was silent for a moment, then smiled faintly and said:
"Don't be nervous, you three. I know that people in your line of work have to be fully prepared before setting off."
"Thank you for your understanding."
Hearing this, the three Pelo people couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. They came here without thinking much, but then they thought they might be misunderstood, so they hurriedly prepared an explanation. Fortunately, their benefactor was knowledgeable.
"My benefactor, we have mobilized our connections and asked the guys to go look for them together. If those two are nearby, I think we will get news soon."
"Well, thank you for your hard work. I'll praise you to the Rat King later."
"Thank you very much, benefactor. We will take our leave now."
After this brief exchange, the three Pelo people left. They felt that Chen Enong was not very interested in communicating, so they could not disturb him any further. Moreover, they were not the only ones present. There was also the female benefactor, Margaret. Looking at her expression...
At that moment, countless stories of heroes saving beauties and sacrificing themselves for their lovers flashed through the minds of these three Pelo people. What if...what if, if these two benefactors became a couple, then they would definitely have to have a seat near the front during the banquet.
With the departure of the three Pelo people, only Margaret and Chen Huijie were left in the alley. The little pony girl swallowed nervously, took a step forward, and said in a serious tone:
"Margaret Linguang, Knight Casimir Yao, thank you sincerely for your helping hand..."
"Take good care of your health."
Chen Huijie waved his hand and interrupted Margaret. How should I put it? Although it was impolite, Knight Casimir's traditional thank-you speech was too long.
In the previous world line, after being saved by me several times, Lin Guang felt that she was tired and just gave me a look of gratitude. Only when they were playing around would she bring out this set of rhetoric to tease me.
Well, now that I think about it, Lin Guang on my side has changed a lot. Sometimes he even uses things like Knight's Glory and Faith to joke with me. He is not as rigid as he was at the beginning.
However, her sister did not seem to agree with her change. When she was in Casimir, the sisters would always come to her and drag her out to relax, saying that their elder sister had changed.
But Chen Huijie didn't like the feeling of being caught in the middle. Family members should deal with their own affairs. After Chen Huijie told Sofia about the sisters' problems, he set off for Victoria.
Don't get me wrong, it's not that Chen Huijie is annoyed with them, he just got the news from Sofia that Mainna is busy with other things and may not be able to practice swordsmanship with him for a while. In this case, Chen Huijie has stayed in Casimir for quite a long time, so it's natural to start a new journey of study.
Moreover, facts proved that his choice was correct. When he received letters from the Linguang sisters later, they all said that the conflict between the sisters had been resolved, and asked Chen Huijie to come to Casimir again when he was free. They said that they had not been able to entertain him well last time, so they would make it up to him this time.
But, there is no chance anymore... I can't think about it anymore. If I continue thinking about it, I will have to watch the sword again.
"OK, all right."
Meanwhile, while Chen Huijie was feeling mixed emotions, Margaret nodded sheepishly. This concern made her ignore the annoyance of being interrupted. Margaret thought for a moment and felt she had to say something to avoid letting the conversation hang. But just then, Chen Huijie finished what he hadn't finished:
"When you recover, let's have a fight."
Um, huh?
Margaret nodded subconsciously, then suddenly raised her head. She suddenly felt that she might have misheard something. The atmosphere just now did not sound like a fight.
"Of course, just enough."
Chen Huijie walked towards Margaret and said softly:
"What? Did my sword attack make you lose the confidence to fight?"
To be honest, Chen Huijie has never fought with Margaret. It's not that she is not strong, but when he was in Rhodes Island, every time he planned to make an appointment to fight her, Chen Huijie would always meet an opponent who was more suitable for him, or an unexpected accident would occur.
Later, when they met again in Casimir, he was free, but Margaret was unwilling to fight with him. When he mentioned sparring, she said something like:
"Since you are free now, how about we go somewhere? I have been away from home for a long time and there have been a lot of changes. I am a little curious."
Since my friend has said so, what else can I do? I can only go out with her.
"Of course not. In fact, I'm in pretty good shape right now. Please wait for me, benefactor. I'll go back and get my weapons."
Since the topic has come to this point, Margaret naturally will not avoid it. To be honest, she also wants to experience for herself how ferocious the sword that cuts through the storm is.
But Chen Huijie waved his hand, stopped her and said:
"Forget it today. I'm a little tired, so I won't fight. By the way, what kind of wandering route did you take? How did you get all the way from Casimir to Longmen?"
"Well... actually, I don't care about the route."
Margaret was surprised by the tone of this benefactor. He sounded very familiar with her, not like they were meeting for the first time. However, no matter how hard Margaret brainstormed, she couldn't remember having seen this person before. She could only follow Chen Huijie's footsteps, chatting him up as they walked:
"I just kept moving forward while helping those in need, and before I knew it, I ended up here."
"Oh, then it can be considered a blessing in disguise for you. If you yourself can't detect the route, those people in Casimir will probably never think of it."
"What does this mean, Mr. Chen?"
Hearing this, Margaret sensed something and quickly asked, while Chen Huijie said calmly:
"Although the Linguang family used the label of infected to send you out of Casimir, some guys in the Casimir Business Association still don't want to let you go as a disruptor of the rules. The Wuzhou Alliance has suspended their assassination attempts on you. But the Wuzhou Alliance is not the only one who would carry out assassinations. But I think those unsavory killers should have been obedient by now."
“…Asshole!”
Margaret's expression kept changing, and she finally couldn't help cursing. Chen Huijie patted her shoulder gently and said comfortingly:
"I know what you're thinking. Casimir's chivalry was supposed to be the savior of the suffering people of this land, but now it has completely degenerated into a corrupt legacy manipulated by capital. There's no greater shame than this. But you must also recognize this reality. Only when you clearly understand what you're facing can you find the magic weapon to overcome it."
"...I understand. Thank you for your guidance."
Margaret stared blankly at the young man beside her and thanked him subconsciously. She now began to doubt whether this benefactor could read her mind. These words really touched her heart. Looking at this calm profile, Margaret couldn't help but flash through the key words such as "childhood sweethearts, one-way amnesia" in her mind.
Chen Huijie, on the other hand, put his hand into his pocket with a subtle expression. Just now, he felt his phone vibrate simply. It should be the activity of the favorability system, which made Chen Huijie frown again.
I have to see if I can turn off the vibration prompt of the favorability system. If it suddenly hits me when I'm sneaking, it will be fatal.
"Benefactor, what's wrong?"
At this moment, Margaret suddenly noticed that Chen Huijie had stopped walking. She immediately stopped thinking and asked softly. Chen Huijie silently glanced to the left and answered casually:
"Nothing, I just remembered that I have something else to take care of. You can go first."
"Ah, okay."
Hearing this, Margaret felt a little disappointed. But since they said so, it would not be appropriate for her to stay any longer. However, there was one thing she still wanted to ask:
"By the way, I still don't know your name, benefactor..."
"Chen Huijie, Chen as in statement, Hui as in glory, Jie as in excellence."
"Chen for statement, Hui for glory, Jie for excellence, I will remember this, benefactor, will we meet again?"
At this time, Margaret saw Chen Huijie looking at her with a very subtle look, and then said with a smile:
"See you of course, let's go."
"Ah."
After getting this promise, Margaret immediately said goodbye to Chen Huijie and left here quickly with light steps. Chen Huijie looked at her back and suddenly remembered something. At this point in time, Margaret should be only sixteen or seventeen years old. Ha, younger than me. It’s not her turn for me to call her sister this time.
After Margaret disappeared, Chen Huijie sighed helplessly, turned and walked towards the deserted park nearby, and then...
"Robbery!"
Looking at the masked man with a knife who suddenly jumped out in front of him, and listening to the masked man's pretended rough voice, Chen Huijie pinched his eyebrows speechlessly -
Chen Huijie, what are you doing? Are you crazy?
Chapter 106 Chen Huijie, you have two choices.
Chen Huijie feels pretty good now, especially after the "sparring" with Texas. Although the Penguin Logistics employee is much stronger than he thought and suppressed him for a while, it doesn't matter. In the end, he was still defeated by his own hands and the Chixiao sword intent that he had just comprehended.
However, the only drawback was that Chi Xiao's reaction to him was still not very good. Although his sword intent was surging, he still needed a certain amount of preparation time to draw the sword. So when he fought with Texas to the end and it was time to decide the winner, Chen Huijie could only bite the bullet and swing out with the sword and scabbard.
But the effect was still very good. Texas was knocked unconscious with one blow. That's good. If the sword was really pulled out, it would not just knock the person unconscious, but would take his life. The Penguin Logistics employee did not deserve such a crime.
Carrying the unconscious Texas, Chen Huijie rushed to the Guard Bureau in a good mood. Her Chixiao sword had not even been unsheathed, but it could instantly tear apart all of Texas's Originium skills. If it was unsheathed, she couldn't even imagine how powerful this sword move would be.
So, it’s just right to use it to deal with that hateful guy!
When he thought of this, Chen Huijie felt extremely impatient. Although strictly speaking, that person had not done anything bad except pretending to be a police inspector at the beginning, and was even considered a very outstanding and enthusiastic citizen, if he joined the Guards Bureau, he would probably start directly as a police officer.
However, Chen Huijie looked at him with great displeasure. Just by standing there, he made her feel uncomfortable. It felt like he was trying to overpower her. Simply put...
This person is my worst enemy.
Chen Huijie also knew that she shouldn't have such prejudice against others, but Chen Huijie felt that the guy with almost the same name as her was probably also unhappy with her. In this case, if she wanted to live in peace with him in the future, she would have to win or lose, and one side would have to bow down.
This was Chen Huijie's initial thought. Especially after realizing the sword intent in his dream, Chen Huijie couldn't wait to find Chen Huijie to fight and let him know that he was not someone to be trifled with.
However, who would have thought that when he turned around and arrived at the Guards Bureau, he heard about this man's sword that opened the natural disaster. At that moment, Chen Huijie was really dizzy. How could this man be so powerful? Can I beat him?
Chen Huijie was depressed at his workstation for a long time, bowing his head to that guy... Asking himself honestly, he still couldn't accept it. At worst, when he saw him in the future, he would just pretend to be mute and listen to what he said. If it made sense, he could accept it. If he said he wanted to teach him or something, he would think about it carefully and not refuse it directly like last time.
Chen Huijie thought so, but from the low pressure she exuded, everyone understood that the female police officer was quite unhappy at the moment. Everyone avoided her and refused to contact her unless necessary. Xingxiong vaguely guessed something, but it was really difficult for her to mediate such matters. With Chen Huijie's temper, trying to persuade her might even have the opposite effect.
Just like that, the fire in the commercial building broke out. Chen Huijie saw the exquisite talisman technique. Although Chen Huijie's mind was filled with thoughts like "Speak up, why hasn't he spoken yet, is he playing hard to get?"
But after calming down, Chen Huijie immediately realized something. She put aside her opinions for the time being and looked around the fire scene. Sure enough, she found the Black Raincoat Shadow Guards and asked them about the level of their talisman skills.
In this regard, although the Black Raincoat Shadow Guards were ordered to keep all information about Mr. Chen secret from the outside, Chen Huijie was not an outsider, and judging from the appearance of this little guy, he should also be interested in the art of talismans, which was also a good thing.
Thus, Chen Huijie got the answer, "To be able to summon spirits and draw talismans out of thin air is a top-notch method even in the vast Yan State."
At this moment, Chen Huijie's mind suddenly became active again. Maybe, the man did not use a sword to create the natural disaster, but did it with talismans.
