The Demon Suppression Bureau in Gotham can’t catch Batman, but the Demon Suppression Bureau in Xiling can catch the Black Silk Hero.
The Black Silk Hero’s debut might as well have been a funeral.
But fortunately, Lin Li has plenty of tricks up his sleeve and connections. You should know, he was once a big shot who could eat both black and white.
When Lin Li eats an Oreo, he never just eats the black O or just the white re.
If this isn’t eating both black and white, what counts as eating both black and white?
Damn, when Lin Li was a kid, he really foolishly followed the ad, lick it, twist it, and dunk it, thinking this was surely the most delicious way.
Space Cups and Oreos truly were part of so ducklings’ childhood ntors, and they also beca a source of joy for many rich ladies, the ones they most needed to thank.
So guys can make won comfortable right when they open their mouths, maybe not because they’re experienced, but simply because they’re little gluttons.
In any case, the well-connected Lin Li ultimately got released from the Demon Suppression Bureau, but at a cost—the black silk beca a sacrificial lamb and was confiscated.
But it’s okay, he has a dozen more at ho.
This ti, I really have to thank Qu Wanqiu.
Who would’ve thought her gift would actually leave him with so much backup hidden energy?
In the "Three People and a Dog" gift group, apart from the "dog" being useless, the other "three people’s" gifts now seem to deeply please Lin Li.
After spending a bit of ti, he returned to Old Friend Road.
Lin Li continued to search for his third round target.
If he’s quick, he might complete the mission in a few days.
However, since Uncle Yan has caught on, though he’ll never admit it, he has to tweak his thods a bit.
Maybe it’s already past midnight, the true dead of night, or maybe it’s because two rounds of the Demon Suppression Bureau appeared in a short period, which is rare on Old Friend Road and had a certain deterrent effect.
In any case, there were far fewer people on the road than at ten or eleven at night, and each person seed even more like they were glued to their iPhones.
The few people he ran into were either hurried with strong purposes and didn’t care about Lin Li at all or, although they noticed Lin Li, had no ill intentions whatsoever.
The Xiling people are still so simple.
Therefore, Lin Li decided to call it a night.
Tomorrow morning—or rather today during the day—he still needs to go to the library to study. With the current efficiency, there’s no need to stay, better to go ho and have a big sleep, take a big break.
After all, his thoughts are very clear by now, completing this task is near at hand, so there’s no need to rush it now.
Putting the cash back into his pocket, Lin Li walked toward where his bicycle was parked.
He took out his phone to scroll through and kill so ti on the way, only to see a ssage from Yangliang.
"Yangliang: Lin Li? What are you doing right now?"
Lin Li blinked, Bu Hao.
"Lin Li: Chatting with contacts on WeChat, what’s up, Unc?"
"Yangliang: Haha, nothing much, Uncle just couldn’t sleep in the middle of the night, thought I’d have a chat with you."
...
It’s totally not ’couldn’t sleep’, you liar.
Twenty minutes earlier.
After coaxing the kid to sleep and finishing a bout of wrestling with his wife, Yangliang took out his phone to look around before bed, kill so ti.
Then he discovered a group chat on WeChat suddenly beca very active in the middle of the night.
He clicked in to see, turns out his forr colleague Yan Aosong, who he worked with for a period, was venting his frustrations in the group.
The top of the chat history, which spurred tonight’s lively scene, was an explosive statent.
"Yan Aosong: Hey, bros, you think using a thirty-centiter fake baton as a self-defense weapon is feasible?"
"Yan Aosong: I’m not joking, I’m seriously discussing this with you guys!"
"Yan Aosong: I’m not crazy!"
"Yan Aosong: It’s not who’s crazy, it’s this black silk world!"
"Yan Aosong: Damn, you guys have no idea what I went through tonight in the middle of the night—I’m telling you, ’Protecting and Liberating the West’ shouldn’t just liberate the West, liberate Xiling for us too! If I took this case on TV, I bet the ratings would explode."
This wasn’t an official work group, but a private group set up by the bros, so they didn’t have to worry about swearing and could speak freely.
Upon hearing what Yan Aosong said, naturally soone got curious and asked what happened to make him so worked up.
"Yan Aosong: Don’t even ntion it, tonight I ran into a real tough nut of a kid. I say he’s a bad person? Yet he really did a thorough good deed. But do I say he’s a good person? This kid’s good but kind of bad, just... good bad good bad."
Yangliang heard this and burst out laughing.
Laughing himself to death, upon seeing this description, the first person Yangliang thought of was Lin Li.
"Yan Aosong: No, this kid was the one reporting the cri, he got robbed. Although he didn’t admit it, he definitely got robbed on purpose, aiming to lure the robbers in to bring them to justice, saying sothing about wanting to be the Black Silk Hero of Xiling, using unconventional ans to protect Xiling’s justice."
"Yan Aosong: @Guo Fei, I didn’t make a mistake, he’s the Black Silk Hero, the one you thought of when you hear ’black silk’."
"Yan Aosong: Unlike what you think, this kid isn’t just your average delusional nerd. He could single-handedly take down four robbers and remain unscathed, just with a stick. Tell , isn’t there anyone in our group who could do this?"
And speaking of being delusional, his style of work is actually quite mature; things are arranged in a pretty orderly fashion. But to say he’s mature, I really can’t bring myself to say it."
