#464 - Chapter 463 I've heard of you for a long time
“Captain, don't underestimate them. I don't know about the latter, but the former is incredibly skilled!” Dong Xin leaned forward slightly, speaking with earnestness.
Luo Shan replied dismissively, “How powerful can a Seventh Realm be?”
Even I, a Ninth Realm, find this mission challenging. What use is a Seventh Realm coming to support us?
“Captain, you're quite wrong there. This Seventh Realm is remarkably powerful. Have you heard of 'Li Chenqiu'?” The tall, thin youth sitting on the sofa straightened up.
Luo Shan raised an eyebrow slightly. “Li Chenqiu? The Third Realm youth who saved the entire City 11?”
“Captain, your information is so outdated!”
Luo Shan retorted, “Outdated? It only happened a few months ago, didn't it?”
“That's true, but Li Chenqiu is different from others. His growth rate is much faster than other Chosen Ones. You can't judge him by ordinary standards.
Just look at his realm-breaking speed. He went from Third Realm to Seventh Realm in a few months. Can the average person do that?” The youth spread his hands, asking rhetorically.
“Ah?” Luo Shan's face showed surprise. He put his leg down and asked in disbelief, “Are you saying that Seventh Realm is him?”
“Of course. Why else would I mention him?”
“Jumping from Third Realm to Seventh Realm in a few months? Are you kidding me? How is that possible?”
“Captain, when I first heard the news, I thought it was fake too, but it's an undeniable fact. He really did spend only a few months going from Third Realm to Seventh Realm. It's insane!”
The tall, thin youth's face showed amazement.
“Really?”
“I swear on my mother's life.”
Luo Shan's Adam's apple bobbed slightly. “Oh my god, a monster is coming!”
“Captain, don't rush to be amazed. I haven't finished yet…”
After that, the tall, thin youth explained Li Chenqiu's identity as a Law Enforcement Chief and his almost perverted ability to fight beyond his realm in detail.
“You… are you sure you're not making up a story? How can a Seventh Realm have the combat power of a Ninth Realm?!” Luo Shan widened his eyes, staring intently at the tall, thin youth.
“Well… that's the rumor, but I don't know the specifics. But it should be true.” The tall, thin youth said uncertainly.
“If it's true, this guy is too abnormal!” Luo Shan straightened up and leaned back in his chair, calming his emotions.
Sitting at the dining table, Dong Xin patted her chest. “Just thinking about meeting such a monster face-to-face in a while makes me a little excited. Do you think I should put on some makeup or something?”
Her words woke the others up. Luo Shan raised his hand and touched his bristly beard, then turned his head and glanced at the smoky room, and quickly stood up.
“Captain, what's wrong?”
“People are coming soon. Hurry up and clean up the room, tidy up your appearance. Does anyone have a razor? Let me borrow it.”
“Captain… do you have to go that far?”
“How can I not? If this Li Chenqiu is really as powerful as you say, he'll probably enter the Security Administration Department in the future. It's estimated that it won't be long before he jumps to the leadership level. Are you planning to meet your future leader like this?”
In the next second, the people in the room all moved.
…
“There are so few people on the streets of this city!”
In the bright elevator, Xiang Nanzhi stood in front of the transparent glass, overlooking City 132.
“The black fog incident has made people panic. If this matter isn't resolved, no one dares to go out.” The crew-cut youth standing beside Xiang Nanzhi explained.
His name was Mo Yu, a member of the 19th Action Team.
Xiang Nanzhi asked doubtfully, “Can't that black fog even swallow residential buildings? What's the use of hiding at home?”
“Because in the eyes of most people, home is the safest place.” Li Chenqiu said without turning his head.
Ding-dong—
The elevator doors slowly opened.
Mo Yu took the lead out of the elevator and gestured in a certain direction. “Please come with me, both of you.”
Li Chenqiu and Xiang Nanzhi politely responded and followed Mo Yu forward.
“These days, our team has been overwhelmed by this black fog, running around with the black fog. Everyone's appearance isn't very good. Please forgive us.” Mo Yu scratched his head awkwardly.
Li Chenqiu smiled slightly. “I understand.”
Soon, the group of three came to a stop in front of a room with the number “3015” on the door.
Mo Yu took out his room card and swiped it on the sensor. The door opened with a “click” sound.
“It might be a little messy inside.” Mo Yu opened the door and subconsciously looked into the room.
The sunlight shone brightly through the glass windows, illuminating the living room. Computers, file bags, data analysis charts, etc., were all arranged neatly.
Luo Shan, neatly dressed and wearing glasses, was writing and drawing on the whiteboard with a marker. The others were sitting around him, nodding and interjecting from time to time. Everything was so orderly.
“Ah?”
Mo Yu rubbed his eyes and pulled the door back again, looking at the door number. “3015, that's right!”
“What's wrong?” Li Chenqiu asked curiously.
“Um… it should be nothing.”
Mo Yu replied uncertainly, then opened the door again, until he met the eyes of the people in the room.
“Xiao Mo, you're back. Did you pick up the people smoothly?” Luo Shan put down the marker and walked towards the door, and the others got up and followed suit.
“I… I picked them up.”
Mo Yu took a step back, retreating to the side.
When he saw Xiang Nanzhi standing at the front, Luo Shan stepped forward and tightly grasped Xiang Nanzhi's left hand, laughing heartily, “I've admired you for a long time! I used to see you on TV, but I never thought I'd finally meet you in person today!”
Xiang Nanzhi was slightly stunned and replied with slight surprise, “Really? I didn't expect I'd be so famous that my name could reach your ears. I'm honored.”
“You're too modest. You reached the Seventh Realm at such a young age, and you even became the Law Enforcement Chief of the Law Enforcement Division. With such achievements, it's hard not to be famous. Every time I open my phone, I see your face on the news. I'm almost annoyed by it!”
Luo Shan replied with great emotional intelligence.
“Huh?”
Several big question marks popped up on Xiang Nanzhi's head. Even if he was stupid, he understood that the guy in front of him had mistaken him for someone else.
“This operation has you…”
“Cough cough cough!”
Just as Luo Shan was about to say something, Dong Xin, who was standing behind him, coughed a few times, tugged at his shoulder, and whispered, “Captain, you've mistaken the person. The one behind him is Li Chenqiu.”
Dong Xin's voice was very small, so small that basically everyone except Luo Shan heard it.
The atmosphere on the field instantly stagnated, and Luo Shan's complexion visibly reddened several degrees.
“That uncle, you've mistaken the person. My name is Xiang Nanzhi, and the one behind me is Li Chenqiu.” Xiang Nanzhi carefully withdrew his hand.
