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

“But the pretty boy Grape would attack Futian at that moment?! What else are you hiding?!” The silver-haired girl slammed the table.

"Grape and I...actually we have a little relationship in private, you know that, right?" Lin Cheng's smile was a little awkward, "You can't tell Lizhi about this, otherwise she will be jealous."

The silver-haired girl opposite took a deep breath, "What is your ability?"

"I can mimic abyssal creatures and change my body shape, but I really have nothing to do with the criminal suspect you mentioned. I have never killed anyone except for killing Qin Huan some time ago."

"What level of ability?"

"Usually it's A-level, but it can also be S to S+... Unlike ordinary physical abilities, my ability consumes life. Every time I use it, my life span will be reduced to a certain extent. That's why I didn't want to report to join the alliance back then... I was afraid of death." Lin Cheng answered sincerely.

At this moment, his head became more and more dizzy. The girl's eyes seemed to become more and more beautiful. The corners of her lips slowly curled up, and her voice became more ethereal and gentle. "Am I cute?"

"She's pretty cute, but her breasts are a little small."

The silver-haired girl took a deep breath, a hint of anger appeared in her eyes, "What kind of girls do you like?"

These questions had obviously deviated from the normal track, but Lin Cheng obviously didn't notice it and answered in a daze, "I don't know... I like everything, gentle, cute, cool, with long legs and big breasts."

"Do you like black or white stockings?"

"I like them all, hehehe."

"Where did you get that transformation device?"

"It's an alchemical tool made from lemons from a fruit store. It can only be used twice. I could have charged it up and used it up again, but I was forced to self-destruct with the plunderer."

"Do you...hate the Alliance?"

"I don't hate it. I think the alliance is pretty good."

"Do you...know Siming?"

"How can I know him?"

"You really don't know where the evolutionary blood in the fruit shop came from?"

"I'm not sure, it seems like there's some kind of deal between Lizhi and Siming... I don't know, it's all very mysterious."

"My interrogation is over." The silver-haired girl stood up, looked at Futian and Rimulan who were sitting on the side, stood up and left, with a little anger in her eyes, and obviously she was still a little dissatisfied with the comment that she had small breasts.

Lin Cheng kept his head down, and finally raised it after a while. He tried to stretch, but his hands were tightly held by the handcuffs. He raised his head and asked, "Is the interrogation over?"　

"It's over." Corona, who was sitting opposite him, replied softly.

"Then can my suspicion be cleared?" Lin Cheng's face showed a relaxed expression.

"I'm sorry, some of the people with special abilities have received training in anti-psychotic interrogation in advance, so in order to completely clear your suspicion, we need some of your blood to compare with the blood of the suspect previously left in the alliance archives."

"How did you get his blood?" Lin Cheng asked curiously.

"The Alliance Arbiter who had fought against him before had his blood samples left on the blood grooves of his weapons... In that battle, two A-level Arbiters of the Alliance were killed, but he still managed to escape." Corona's voice seemed a little sad.

"Thank you for your hard work. I will cooperate with you." Lin Cheng showed his wrist, "Let's draw blood."

"For physical ability users, due to technical reasons, it may take two to three days, and two blood draws are required, so I will send you to the Alliance-specific prison in a while, where all your abilities will be banned and you will need to stay there for two days. I hope you can understand."

"Well, can I play on my phone?"

"Sorry, can not."

"Okay... then can you buy me a book? To help me pass the time."

"Whatever books you want, I can buy them for you."

"Just buy two novels, anything, thank you."

"You're welcome." Corona replied gently, "In this incident, you delayed time and solved the plunderer. You will receive a reward from the alliance after you are released from prison."

"Really? That's great."

"This is what you deserve." Corona picked up the blood-drawing tool, "I need one hundred CC of your blood. Someone will come to draw it again tomorrow."

"Okay, okay." Lin Cheng smiled and nodded, fully cooperating.

63 Prison

After having his blood drawn, Lin Cheng was taken by Corona to a prison van and headed to the alliance's special prison.

In recent years, it is not uncommon for people with special abilities to commit crimes, but not all of them commit capital crimes, or... they just die directly, and their deaths are not valuable enough.

Fifty years ago, the previous leader of the alliance obtained the skills of making alchemical arrays from the memories of the Abyss Priest. As long as sufficient materials are prepared, a magic-forbidden array can be made in a certain area. All energy within the magic-forbidden array will be suppressed, and the alliance's prison will be built here.

Another important reason for being sent to prison is that within a day after being sent to prison, all the energy in the blood is suppressed. Then, if blood is drawn again for technical comparison, there will basically be no possibility of omissions or misjudgments.

Of course, if you want to be imprisoned here, you must be at least A-level or above to be qualified.

An hour later the prison van arrived, and Ri Mian took Lin Cheng to go through the prison procedures. This was the first time that Lin Cheng put on a prison uniform. The number on the prison uniform was based on the number of prisoners. His prison uniform number was 226, which meant that there were a total of 226 criminals in this prison.

Because he had received the news in advance, the procedures went smoothly. Lin Cheng also had his own cell, a small room of five square meters, where he stayed temporarily.

This is the first time I have had this kind of life experience.

So Lin Cheng looked at the next cell with curiosity. There were people in every cell next door, and there were also people looking at him with curiosity. Most of the other cells had two people living in them, but he was treated specially, with only one person living in it.

That's not bad.

After sending Lin Cheng to his destination, Ri Mian left and promised Lin Cheng that someone would deliver the book soon. Lin Cheng leaned against the wall, but his thoughts were soon broken. An hour later, a man wearing prisoner uniform No. 227 walked in.

The man who walked in looked to be around 22 or 23 years old. He wore gold-rimmed glasses and had green curly hair. His face looked very handsome, and his eyes were not gloomy, but rather particularly deep.

Lin Cheng looked at the other person for a second, and the other person smiled at him, "Hello."

"Hello." Lin Cheng also replied politely.

"I'm new here, so please forgive me if there's anything I don't understand about the rules." The other party's tone was too polite. Lin Cheng replied, "I just came in too, an hour earlier than you."

After arriving at the prison, the handcuffs of the two were opened, but the alchemical formation in the prison also suppressed all the energy in their bodies. The guards here had special marks on their bodies that could prevent their power from being suppressed, so managing this prison became particularly easy.

Lin Cheng leaned against the wall beside the bed and suddenly asked, "What did you do to get in here?"

"There was a small problem when researching alchemy technology, which caused an explosion. What about you?" The green-haired man pushed his glasses and said, "Just call me Green Hair."

"Me? There was a small misunderstanding. I'm here to stay for a while and will be out in two days." Lin Cheng replied.

Green Hair glanced at him, nodded slightly, then lay down on his bed, seemingly closing his eyes to rest.

He acted very calm, but Lin Cheng's eyes were fixed on his collarbone. It wasn't because he had any strange thoughts, but because he saw that there seemed to be a corner of a black tattoo exposed under the other's collarbone.

Neither of them spoke anymore. Lin Cheng's eyes were always looking at everything in the prison. He could see several people from the next room, and even one or two familiar faces.

...That was something he had caught with his own hands.

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

An hour later, the guard brought the books Lin Cheng wanted. They were two mystery novels. Lin Cheng opened one of them and read it in the light of the prison. He could sit there and read for a long time without getting bored. Suddenly, the green-haired guy in the bed next to him asked, "Excuse me... can you lend me one?"

Lin Cheng directly threw another book to him. The other party responded with a kind smile, opened the book and began to read. There was a clock in the cell. When the time reached six o'clock in the afternoon, the door of the cell was opened. It was obviously time for dinner.

Lin Cheng and Lu Mao also came to their senses at this moment, following the crowd that entered the prison and walked towards the cafeteria.

Obviously, these people in the prison were old acquaintances of each other, and they were chatting cordially all the way. They also looked at Lin Cheng and Lu Mao with curiosity once or twice, but quickly retracted their gazes. The cafeteria was not far from the prison, and the prisoners began to line up tacitly. There were also a few prisoners who walked lazily and went straight to the front of the line, but those prisoners obviously had no complaints.

Lin Cheng and Green Hair were at the end of the line. People in front of them kept cutting in front of their team. Someone even grabbed Lin Cheng's shoulder and pulled him aside. Lin Cheng didn't say anything and just smiled, and so did Green Hair.

Ten minutes later, Lin Cheng received his dinner, which consisted of white rice, boiled chicken, a portion of vegetables, and a lion's head. The food was not bad, but he had to get soup himself if he wanted it. Lin Cheng was holding the plate and saw Green Hair who was also holding a plate. He smiled kindly at Lin Cheng and looked towards the empty space in the cafeteria.

But Lin Cheng politely shook his head, took the food tray and walked to the corner of the cafeteria, facing a tall and burly man who looked like a bear.

He really looked like a bear. He was at least two meters and three meters tall. The loose prison uniform on his body could not hide his muscles at all. There were two whole boiled chickens on the plate in front of him.

"Dude, how did you train this block? So cool." Lin Cheng greeted him.

The man opposite slowly raised his head and looked at him. Although his body gave people a great sense of intimidation, his eyes were very gentle. "This is the result of ability, not training."

"Oh... can I have a chicken leg? I haven't eaten for a day, so it's a bit not enough." Lin Cheng's tone was almost too familiar.

The man opposite was stunned for a moment. After hesitating for a moment, he pushed a plate of chicken in front of Lin Cheng and said, "Then eat more."

He stood up and quickly went to the front desk of the cafeteria to get a whole white-cut chicken and a pot of lion's head. He sat opposite Lin Cheng and said while eating, "My name is Daxiong. Are you new here?"

"Yes, there was a misunderstanding. They took a blood test to see if I was the physical ability user who committed the crime two years ago. I should be released in two days. Thank you, Brother Daxiong."

"It's okay. If someone bullies you, you can come to me." Big Bear said softly.

"How did Brother Daxiong get in?" Lin Cheng asked curiously.

"My abilities often get out of control because of anger, so living here helps me to exercise my ability to control my anger."

"That's what I told you! Brother Big Bear looks righteous and doesn't look like a criminal. Now I remember that I met you a few years ago. I saw a report about you on the news at that time. You killed two SS-level predators by yourself."

Daxiong shook his head and said, "No, the captain always gave me the task of finishing off the enemy after he was injured."

"Is that so? I know, I know. Your captain is that man... Siming, right?"

"Well, my captain is very powerful. He has saved my life many times." As if because of the mention of that man, Da Xiong laughed, and his fleshy face showed a bit of tenderness.

"Brother Big Bear, don't you feel bored staying here every day?" Lin Cheng asked softly.

Big Bear thought about it seriously, "The natural disaster is over. I'm not smart enough, and the current alliance is a bit complicated. I can't figure it out. The boss told me to read more books before he retired. I've been here for more than a year, so it's good to read a book every day. I'll wait until the alliance needs me someday."

Lin Cheng gave Daxiong a thumbs up. He wanted to say something else, but he vaguely realized that the eyes behind him were looking at him, so he just smiled and naturally took another lion head from Daxiong's bowl and ate it with relish.

After dinner, Lin Cheng returned to the prison. He and Green Hair lay on different beds. While the lights were still on, they read books respectively. When the lights were turned off, they went back to their beds to sleep. Lin Cheng fell asleep quickly, while Green Hair, who was lying on another bed, slowly opened his eyes in the darkness.

His hand quietly reached into his lower abdomen and touched the tattoo with his fingertips. After a long time, he withdrew his hand, closed his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

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

Alliance, Lab 1.

The scientific researcher in white silently wrote a line on the report.

"We have used all current technologies to conduct a genetic comparison, but the genetic comparison has failed. His identity is not the [Human Butcher] who committed a serious crime two years ago."

"After a second comparison, its genes have nothing to do with Evolved Blood, nor does it have any of the activity or effects of Evolved Blood."

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

The next morning.

Lin Cheng really had never thought that they would have to get up at 6:30 in the morning to do morning exercises in this prison. He and Green Hair both looked listless. He was fine, but Green Hair's eye bags were particularly excessive, as if he had been punched twice.

"It's so annoying." Green Hair couldn't help but mutter.

Lin Cheng ran with him, smiled helplessly, and suddenly asked curiously, "How long will you be sentenced to, bro?"

"Life imprisonment. If you have a chance to make meritorious contributions to the alliance's alchemy technology, maybe it will be reduced a little?" There was no frustration in Green Hair's voice, as if he didn't care at all.

"It seems like you're not that worried, bro." Lin Cheng's tone was slightly meaningful.

"One day at a time is a day. The Alliance...won't really let a technical talent like me stay in a prison like this for the rest of my life. Maybe in a few days, they will come to beg me to help them break through the alchemy technology problems they are facing."

"From the tone of your voice, it seems that you are very disdainful of the alliance." Lin Cheng said playfully.

"They are just a bunch of good-for-nothings who are just occupying their positions for free." Green Hair smiled indifferently.

64 Big Bear

After the morning run, Lin Cheng and Lu Mao went to have breakfast. Da Xiong was still alone in the corner of the cafeteria. His breakfast was much longer than others.

But he was obviously out of place in this prison, and seemed a little lonely sitting there alone. After all, he was the Arbiter of the Alliance, and an SS-level physical strength expert.

Physical strength types are very common, but SS-level physical strength types are almost rare. If you give him an alchemical bone-cutting knife, he can kill a dozen ordinary S-level types in ten minutes.

Obviously, Daxiong looked like a very easy person to talk to. Lin Cheng was always good at reading people's eyes. He could tell from Daxiong's eyes that he was an honest man, so he happily walked over to him and asked him for another apple.

Big Bear didn't care and even picked a banana and handed it to him.

"Brother Big Bear is really nice."

"I can't finish it anyway." Big Bear just smiled, "Besides, you're not a bad person."

"How does Big Bear know that I'm not a bad person?"

"I've been here for more than two years, and the look in your eyes is different from theirs, so I know you're not here because of a crime."

"It's good to read more books." Lin Cheng lowered his voice and said to him gently, blinking his eyes quietly. Daxiong was stunned for a moment, but Lin Cheng had already stood up with the apple in his hand, "Thank you, Brother Daxiong, let's talk next time."
