Who says those who retire at the speed of light are not heroes?

"I got married." Lin Cheng replied.

Jiang Lingxue was startled, and stopped swinging her toes. The smile on her lips gradually faded, "With whom?"

"This story is a bit complicated. Let me tell you slowly."

Lin Cheng suddenly realized that after telling the story he had told Lu Xiaoxiao again, he became more proficient in it and some of the wording was modified to be more smooth. Jiang Lingxue listened quietly and said "oh".

She was not as angry as Lu Xiaoxiao. She just looked into Lin Cheng's eyes and asked, "When are we getting married?"

"Even if we hold a wedding banquet, there won't be anyone worth inviting..." Lin Cheng's mouth twitched slightly.

After all, the Ji family invited elders to the banquet, and Lin Cheng and Jiang Lingxue were both orphans.

"so?"

"So it seems there's no need for us to get married. If you want, we can get a marriage certificate later, but I'm not old enough."

Lin Cheng is less than twenty-one years old this year.

"So, what you mean is that when you are old enough, you will accompany me to get the certificate?" Jiang Lingxue raised the corners of her lips.

"Strange, why are you interested in this kind of thing?"

Lin Cheng felt that in some ways, he and Jiang Lingxue were similar. They both lacked a sense of security and doubted everything. They never believed that marriage could be the end of love. It was just a formality. Marriage did not necessarily mean there was love, and not getting married did not necessarily mean there was no love.

"I didn't think so before, but just now I suddenly thought, if I were the one getting the marriage certificate with you, I would definitely be able to use that little notebook to piss them all off to death."

"Who are they?"

"Those women who were ambiguous with you, do you think women would not care about such things?"

"..." Lin Cheng was speechless for a moment.

"Yeah, forget it then."

The next second Jiang Lingxue rushed towards him, pinned him down, grabbed his shoulders, and banged her head against his chest, "You just promised me! You changed your mind in just a few seconds!!"

"We'll talk about this later."

"You're always dragging your feet." Jiang Lingxue grumbled in dissatisfaction. She stopped bumping her head and started poking his chest with her fingers. After a while, she sat up a little, stood on tiptoes, and looked at Lin Cheng, "I'm sure I can count to two hundred this time."

She was still obsessed with her three hundred challenges.

....................................

Before leaving, Jiang Lingxue and Lin Cheng began to complain that her high heels were rubbing their feet.

"Then why are you wearing high heels?"

"No, you don't understand what I mean at all." Jiang Lingxue leaned close to Lin Cheng's ear, "Just lend me some lubricant."

"You are becoming more and more perverted."

"Hmm? That's better than someone who looks serious but actually has all these weird and weird ideas in his head."

So Jiang Lingxue got her lubricant contentedly and went out in her high heels. It was a little cold outside, so Lin Cheng changed into a casual suit and held an umbrella for Jiang Lingxue. The two walked slowly in the rain. Jiang Lingxue walked briskly, and the hem of her black skirt that fell to her calves fluttered slightly in the rain.

Seeing this guy so cheerful and lively, like a bright female college student, but in her shoes...

Lin Cheng accompanied her all the way to the mall. The main purpose of this trip was to accompany Jiang Lingxue to buy clothes. Jiang Lingxue didn't like trying on clothes. As long as she thought they were similar, she would buy them directly.

On the day that Lin Cheng met her for the first time, Lin Cheng accompanied her to buy a lot of clothes, bags and other things.

Thinking back to the time when they first met, Lin Cheng couldn't help but laugh. Jiang Lingxue stopped bouncing and turned to look at him, "Huh? What are you laughing at?"

"Thinking of the first time we met."

"You were still a serious person back then." Jiang Lingxue snorted, her voice full of emotion.

It seems to be correct to say so. At that time, Lin Cheng was very serious. He had just returned from the abyss and was in a daze all day. He met Jiang Lingxue inadvertently and realized the torture she was going through, so he went over to her.

Jiang Lingxue's temper at that time was much worse than it is now. She was irritable and didn't like anyone every day. But Lin Cheng's temper at that time seemed to be much better than it is now. He could coax Jiang Lingxue without any limits and would not get angry no matter how she lost her temper, because he knew why Jiang Lingxue became like this, so he could be tolerant and understanding.

Now Jiang Lingxue has grown up, and has become sensible and smart, but Lin Cheng's temper seems to have worsened. He has become more and more heartless and conscienceless...Xia Ning has sent him a lot of messages during this period, but Lin Cheng didn't even tell Xia Ning where he was going.

He never thought of keeping her hanging. He hoped that this guy would recognize herself after his enthusiasm faded. If Xia Ning knew him three years ago, perhaps everything would be different. At that time, he would definitely not be so conscienceless as he is now, and he might even be able to coax Xia Ning with soft words for a long time.

Now he will only think, even if I know you are in pain and you are fragile and sensitive, but it is not caused by me, so it has nothing to do with me. It is you who want to trap yourself in a vicious circle. There is no such thing as "borrow someone's love to save me" in this world. In the end, people can only rely on themselves.

"Think about it, it's been a long time." Lin Cheng said softly.

"Yes." Jiang Lingxue looked at the diamond ring in the glass window, then looked at Lin Cheng, "I want that one."

"Then buy it."

"I want you to buy it for me."

"I don't have any money." Lin Cheng replied softly.

Lin Cheng and she walked into the counter. Lin Cheng looked at the price of the diamond ring, which was 680,000 yuan, and then looked at the balance of 6,800 yuan on his bank card. He said with a bitter face, "How about you transfer the money to me and I will buy it for you?"

"What's the difference between that and buying it myself?"

"If I ask Lizhi for money to buy a diamond ring, she will punish me."

"Oh, then let's not do it." Jiang Lingxue was not very disappointed. She just held Lin Cheng's hand and walked out again. At noon, the two of them went to eat hot pot together. In the evening, Lin Cheng sent Jiang Lingxue home. He watched a movie with her at Jiang Lingxue's house, studied rope art, and fed the hungry Jiang Succubus. He left early the next morning. Xia Ning was busy with the alliance's tasks these two days and was not at home.

Lin Cheng returned home and sent a message to Lu Xiaoxiao, "Are you still busy with the mission?"

"Yes, there are several people with special abilities from other cities in that organization, and they are still formulating a plan to capture them."

"Do you need external help? I'm a bit short of money lately."

----------

ps: I will update one chapter first and another one depends on fate.

283 They are dying

"How much do you want?" Lu Xiaoxiao replied almost immediately.

"Six hundred and eighty thousand."

"card number."

"How can this be? Do you think I'm a gigolo?" Lin Cheng typed back, "I'm just asking if you need any outside help on your mission, and if I can get some compensation or something."

"Wait a minute, let me check."

Lin Cheng lay in bed and waited quietly. Of course, he couldn't ask Lu Xiaoxiao for money. Haha, if Lu Xiaoxiao knew that he wanted the money to buy a diamond ring for Jiang Lingxue, maybe one day he would wake up and find that his head had been twisted off.

Ten minutes later, Lu Xiaoxiao sent Lin Cheng an address, "Come find me here."

....................................

Before going out, Lin Cheng washed and blow-dried his hair, changed into a loose high-necked white sweater and casual pants, and came to the location Lu Xiaoxiao sent, which was in a teahouse. He found the room according to the box number, knocked on the door gently, and the door opened.

There were four people in the box.

Lu Xiaoxiao, a woman who looked a little older, a forty-year-old bald uncle, and the last person was a popular silver-haired idol who was sitting in the corner playing with his phone.

Why is she here too?

Lu Xiaoxiao held Lin Cheng's hand and came in front of everyone. She was not delicate in front of outsiders. Her voice was calm but with a hint of pride. "He is Lin Cheng, my boyfriend. He killed Wu Zun and Lei Ze during the last abyss brought by the Styx. He will participate in this mission. If you have any opinions, you can raise them with me now."

Lin Cheng looked at the serious Lu Xiaoxiao and found it inexplicably interesting. The woman sitting on the chair holding the teacup had no objection and took a sip of tea. "I have no objection."

The bald uncle had a poker face, and his expression looked particularly cold and stern. He also replied, "I have no objection."

So Lin Cheng sat down on the chair next to Lu Xiaoxiao, and Xia Ning raised her head at this moment, "Why don't you ask me if I have any opinion?"

Lin Cheng glanced at her and smiled at her, "Do you have any objections?"

Xia Ning was about to say something, but when she saw Lin Cheng's smile and thought of the time when she was bullied by this guy before, she shrank her head and said, "No."

Lu Xiaoxiao began to make a plan for this mission.

....................................

The target of arrest this time is a criminal organization that has entered City A for two months.

They sell some banned drugs in City A, which are specially for people with special abilities. After taking them, the energy core will be stimulated, bringing excessive pleasure and improving the energy level, but it will also increase the desire for violence in the heart. Overdose will cause a crazy rampage. In the past two months, there have been two cases of chaos in City A caused by people with special abilities taking drugs and going berserk.

According to the information received by Lu Xiaoxiao's informant, they will have a transaction tonight at the abandoned dock in City A, and the photos of the core members of the criminal organization have been posted on the wall.

The people in those three photos were wearing masks. Many members of criminal organizations had their own masks to avoid their real identities being affected. The three masks were Prajna, Blue Prajna, Red Prajna and Orange Prajna.

The energy levels of these three people are speculated to be above 10w for two and around 5w for one. The one with 5w is a pharmacist who makes potions, and the remaining two are more like bodyguards and thugs. One of them has physical ability and seems to be extremely fast, and the remaining one has a special ability and the ability of virtualization.

No wonder Xia Ning is also here.

The power of molecular influence can restrain the virtualization to a certain extent.

The mission tonight is very simple. If it is difficult to capture them, then kill them on the spot. Never give these three people a chance to escape.

The potion was made by a pharmacist wearing a Qing Prajna mask, which seemed to be due to some kind of ability of his, but the way he made the potion seemed to be inseparable from human experiments. After they came to City A, many people disappeared in the remote villages of City A.

After obtaining the specific information, Lin Cheng also briefly introduced himself. He described his strength as physical strength, and none of the three people would be his opponent.

So all that is left to do next is to wait. The time for Prajna to trade with the trading partner is twelve o'clock tonight.

....................................

"Why are you here?"

The meeting was over and adjourned for now. We would meet again at 10pm. Xia Ning sat on the chair, looking at Lin Cheng, her eyes full of resentment.

Because this guy disappeared for more than ten days, she only found out after asking Lu Xiaoxiao that he had gone to a paradise on earth for something, and he didn't even mention it to her.

"I came here to make some quick money." Lin Cheng shrugged, "Don't tell Jiang Lingxue about this."

"Why can't I tell you?"

"Stop asking questions." Lin Cheng interrupted Xia Ning's curiosity. It was almost noon, and the three of them went to have a simple meal together. Lin Cheng accompanied Lu Xiaoxiao back home. Xia Ning had nothing to do, so she followed them. Lin Cheng handed the long sword forged by Yu Kui imitating the Sun-Breaking Sword to Lu Xiaoxiao.

"you do not need?"

"I don't need it." Lin Cheng shook his head. Lu Xiaoxiao hesitated for a moment, but still took the knife. Then she threw the knife she had used earlier to Lin Cheng and looked at him. "Will you practice with me?"

"Row."

Lin Cheng practiced with Lu Xiaoxiao for the whole afternoon, and Xia Ning sat aside lazily looking at her phone until dinner time. When Lu Lingling came back, she went to the kitchen to cook dinner.

Speaking of which, Lin Cheng hasn't seen Lu Lingling for a long time.

At the dinner table late at night, perhaps because Xia Ning was there, Lu Lingling behaved particularly dignified and elegant, which made Lin Cheng quite uncomfortable.

He suddenly realized that people do have several faces, and they always have different postures in front of different people.

After dinner, Lin Cheng and Xia Ning got into Lu Xiaoxiao's car and set off. Tonight's transaction was to be held at the dock, so the three people's car was parked on the roadside near the dock. The older woman in the organization and the bald uncle were in the same car, and their car was also parked not far away. The lights at the abandoned dock were dim, almost dark, no wonder the transaction location was chosen here.

All five of them put on headphones for communication. The woman's ability was to manipulate and sense plants. She had switched her perspective to the weeds at the dock to sense whether the suspect had arrived. The answer was no.

But Lin Cheng has a more convenient way.

He pulled out two strands of his hair, and in Lu Xiaoxiao's sight, the two hairs turned into two black bugs. The two black bugs gathered together and began to mate. In an instant, two more black bugs appeared, and those two black bugs also began to mate... Lin Cheng blew a breath and blew the black bugs out of the window.

"What is this?" Lu Xiaoxiao got goosebumps.

"A kind of small insect in the abyss. It has no combat ability, but reproduces very quickly. Its lifespan is very short, no more than three hours. But within three hours, they can reproduce from two to one hundred thousand. However, according to the rules of the abyss, there can only be a maximum of one hundred million of these creatures."

"Why is it only 100 million?" Lu Xiaoxiao asked curiously.

"Because of the rules of the abyss. If these creatures are allowed to reproduce indefinitely, they will fill up the entire abyss sooner or later. However, in this world, they do not abide by the rules of the abyss, but my rules. I can make them live or die as I wish. They are just used as monitors, don't worry."

"I still don't understand what your ability is."

"You can think of me as a dual-ability person. One of my abilities is that I can transform into any abyss creature, including the previous Abyss Queen. There are nearly 10,000 abyss creatures in the abyss, and they all have various wonderful uses."

"The second ability is destiny. The power of destiny is actually very simple. It is pure energy. The energy core of each ability user is different, so using energy can stimulate different abilities. My energy core is blank, so I can use any currently known ability. The end point of destiny is that after the energy reaches its limit, it becomes a god in people's cognition."

Lu Xiaoxiao understood a little bit this time.

At this moment, Lin Cheng held Lu Xiaoxiao's hand and shared the vision of the little black bugs directly with Lu Xiaoxiao. The dock was still calm and there was no one in sight. The black bugs soon covered an area of ​​ten miles in their continuous reproduction. Whenever they sensed a creature with an energy core, the black bugs would feed back their vision.

"This is... too convenient." Lu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but sigh.

“So it’s hard not to go crazy after having these abilities.” Lin Cheng pulled his hair helplessly.

Lu Xiaoxiao quickly understood what Lin Cheng meant.

Human beings are like this. If their desires cannot be satisfied, they will suffer, and if their desires are satisfied, they will become empty. What's more, at this moment he can't even be sure whether he is still a human being.

At 11:30 in the morning, Black Bug detected three targets with energy cores appearing three kilometers away. Within five minutes, the three targets approached the dock. All three of them were wearing Prajna masks, and one of them was holding a black box in his hand.
