Chapter 536: First Day Out of Prison, Immediately Joining District 13
"However, what can be confirmed is that the other party is not a demon, nor some evil creature. Otherwise, Qi Magic would be impossible to have absolutely no effect."
Dad said.
"But Dad, I personally watched the other party walk out from the Shen Yu Zhi Men I opened."
Jackie Chan said.
"Ah, Long Shu, it was you who opened the Shen Yu Zhi Men?"
Xiao Yu asked with some surprise, and both Tru and Dad widened their eyes, looking toward him.
"Mm~"
Jackie Chan hurriedly covered his own mouth, but the slip of the tongue had already happened; now he could only try to salvage his dignity.
"This was an accident. I snatched the Black Hand Gang's Pangu Treasure Box and hid in the laundry room, but who knew there would be a hidden Shen Yu Zhi Men inside? After I entered, the Pangu Treasure Box moved on its own. I swear, I did my utmost to stop it, but failed."
"So, he really came out from inside Hell?"
Xiao Yu pointed at the boy standing motionless over there and asked.
"Yes, this point I dare guarantee."
Jackie Chan nodded.
"Cool, a boy who walked out from Hell!"
Xiao Yu exclaimed in amazement. Seeing his niece's expression, Jackie Chan secretly thought things were bad.
Middle school-aged kids are mostly rebellious, pursuing being different.
Clearly, Broly's strange origin had already attracted his own niece's curiosity.
"Xiao Yu, Dad did say, how can a demon's words be believed?"
Jackie Chan started lecturing. He hoped his niece could be a bit more well-behaved, best to stay away from weird supernatural events or figures.
"Dad, I indeed said that, but the other party is not a demon, so his words should be believable."
But helplessly, the Dad beside him undermined him.
"Dad, is there a possibility you saw wrong?"
Jackie Chan hoped Dad wouldn't say undermining words, but his forehead directly took Dad's hand knife.
"Dad only wears reading glasses, not gone blind. Whether I saw wrong or not, how could Dad not know?"
"But we fought with him."
Jackie Chan rubbed his forehead and said.
"So then, how exactly did you start fighting?"
Dad crossed his arms before him. From their chattering on this side for so long, while the boy over there just watched without rushing over to fight, Dad had somewhat confirmed the other party likely had no malice, so now he was also curious how Jackie Chan started fighting with him.
"This..." Jackie Chan recalled the reason for the fight, then put hands on hips and looked at his own niece, "Xiao Yu!"
"Uh, I admit I was somewhat impulsive. I can apologize."
Xiao Yu also reacted to the reason for the fight, complexion somewhat embarrassed, acknowledging fault to her Long Shu. The cause of this fight was actually her actively attacking that boy, while the boy who walked out of Hell merely passively counterattacked.
"Wait until we return home, then I'll properly discuss this matter with you."
Jackie Chan's personality is a bit mother-hen, but in children's education, he never mainly relies on scolding. If Xiao Yu erred, scolding his niece was absolutely not his first choice; stepping up, teaching his niece to take responsibility was.
"Very sorry. My niece Xiao Yu was too impulsive. For her suddenly attacking you just now, I apologize to you."
Jackie Chan actively stepped forward and said to that boy with extremely exaggerated battle power, who looked very dangerous.
"I'm very sorry, extremely sorry."
Xiao Yu saw her Long Shu apologizing to someone else for her sake; she also hurriedly followed, bowing her head to Broly, apologizing.
The biggest difference between the current Xiao Yu and the Xiao Yu who just arrived is that she learned the sense of responsibility Uncle Jackie Chan taught her.
One's own stirred-up trouble, don't just let others clean up for you. If capable, then settle it yourself.
"It's fine. I also don't mind you attacking me. In fact, this kind of thing I personally have experienced quite a lot, long since used to it."
Being attacked by a capture target upon first meeting isn't anything too rare. Broly very generously accepted the girl's apology before him.
"Uh, can you return the Talismans to us? Those aren't our things, but things we borrowed from other places. After use, they must be returned."
Jackie Chan asked in a negotiating tone. He felt very embarrassed — couldn't win so apologized, still wanted the other party to return the gained loot, but this was also a no-way thing.
Broly looked at the Rabbit-Ox Talisman in his hand, but discovered a rather subtle thing. It seemed when this thing was in his hand, it was not treated as a capture target, but just like a dead object.
Thought a bit. Broly threw one of the Talismans to Jackie Chan. Jackie Chan didn't expect the boy would so simply return the Talisman; somewhat flustered, he grabbed empty air twice in midair, only on the third time when the Talisman was about to fall to the ground did he truly catch it steady.
"Oh, truly thank you so much."
Jackie Chan thanked. Broly looked at the Crystal Palace Panel and did not discover a capture target belonging to the Ox Talisman appear.
"One more Talisman. Xiao Yu, you catch."
Broly threw the Rabbit Talisman over. Xiao Yu caught it in one go.
"Eh, how did you know my name?"
Just, the girl found this matter a bit strange.
"Don't they all call you that?"
Broly shrugged, and on the Crystal Palace Panel 【Rabbit Talisman, Happiness Value 7 (Cheng Xiao Yu)】 was already displayed. (The parentheses part Broly cannot see; this is for readers to see)
"Since there's no demon Dad needs to deal with here anymore, Dad should also return. Jackie Chan, do you want to ride the Tru Express back with us?"
Dad asked.
"Sir, didn't you say Talisman power cannot be used recklessly? Shouldn't we take normal transportation back?"
Tru felt curious and asked directly.
"Dad's antique shop has no one watching it right now. What if a customer comes, or a thief sneaks in? What to do? Talisman power indeed cannot be used recklessly, but now is an emergency moment!"
Dad said this very seriously, with reason and evidence, irrefutable.
"I think I can't jailbreak. I have to handle this disguised criminal identity properly."
"Dad, I want to stay here and keep Uncle Long company, can I?"
"No, this is a prison, it'll teach you bad things."
In response, Dad and Jackie Chan spoke in unison, and this attitude of theirs also made it unsurprising that Dad, upon hearing Jackie Chan was currently in prison, would subconsciously treat him as a liar.
"Fine, you two call the shots."
Xiao Yu crossed her arms; wanting to stay and keep Uncle company was a pretense, but her curiosity to probe the secrets of Broly, this boy from Hell, was real.
"Wait, can I come with you guys?"
Just as the big guy Tru was leading Dad and Xiao Yu, preparing to run back to San Francisco, Broly spoke up to ask.
"Huh?!"
The people opposite all looked at him at the same time.
"I just got out of Hell, I'm unfamiliar with life in this world, and temporarily have nowhere to go."
Broly gave an explanation.
"Hey, of course you can."
Hearing this, Xiao Yu got a bit excited, and when Dad and Jackie Chan looked over, she immediately reacted.
"Uh, Dad, Uncle Long, what I mean is, we can't be indifferent to people who need help."
Xiao Yu showed her white teeth; it was a somewhat awkward but still polite smile.
"Mm, Dad knows your situation; Dad can help you, consider it an apology for this child Xiao Yu actively attacking you.
However, Dad's Antique Shop already has Tru living there, no spare rooms to give you; I think Jackie Chan will have a way.
Right, Jackie Chan?"
Dad looked at Jackie Chan.
"Huh? I have a way?"
Jackie Chan was a bit bewildered, but when Broly looked over, he still put his hand in front of his mouth and coughed lightly twice.
"Uh, yes, but I have to contact Captain Black to have a way; Broly, your identity is very special, I believe Captain Black will definitely be willing to help you once he knows."
Jackie Chan said it with sincere conviction.
"Do you need me to give you a ride? You can sit on my shoulder."
Tru indicated there was still room on his broad shoulders, completely enough to seat two kids.
"Not needed, I can walk myself."
Broly shook his head and refused.
"Tru can use the Rabbit Talisman; his speed will be very fast."
Xiao Yu reminded.
Latest novel at ⊥first⊥release!
"But not as fast as me, right?"
"Uh, seems like it, but he can also use the Rooster Talisman; then we'll fly up into the sky."
Xiao Yu said again.
"Don't worry, I can do flight too."
Broly floated up.
"Wow, flying without relying on Talismans, how did you do that?"
Xiao Yu widened her eyes and asked.
"This is the power of Qi."
"Is it Qi Magic?"
"It's Qi."
Broly followed Dad and the others back to San Francisco; after arriving at the Antique Shop, Tru poured him a cup of tea, and Xiao Yu brought out her favorite little snacks.
"Uncle Long told us your background, but it's not detailed enough; can I inquire about more detailed information from you? I happen to have a school assignment to observe a certain creature and write an observation report; I think you, who walked out of Hell, would definitely be an excellent observation subject."
"Xiao Yu, don't treat others like beetles or frogs and write them into your school assignment; moreover, normal people wouldn't believe a place like Hell exists."
"I know, Dad, but I should be able to make a friend who isn't a demon but comes from Hell, right?"
Dad looked at Xiao Yu, then at Broly, and said to the big disciple beside him: "Tru, Dad's a bit tired, wants to go rest; you take Dad's place and properly entertain the guest."
"Okay."
Tru nodded, and Dad walked back to his room to catch up on sleep.
Without adult supervision, Tru couldn't control Xiao Yu.
Xiao Yu began to unleash her curiosity, pulled Broly onto a chair, and started asking this and that.
"Eh, so you're not a Hell person, but an alien?!"
"Not an alien, but an Isekai person."
"Isn't that even cooler?!"
Seeing the two kids chatting well together, Tru also started cleaning up hygiene; this was his daily work in the Antique Shop.
"Then Broly, you coming to this world, is there something very important you have to do?"
Xiao Yu asked in high spirits, and at her age she indeed pursued being different, believing a person with an extraordinary identity must surely have an extraordinary mission.
"Mm."
Broly nodded; finding a wife was indeed a very important matter.
"Don't say it yet, let me guess; hmm, is it that your home planet is about to be destroyed, you prepared to come to our world to find a place suitable for your species' survival, but made a minor mistake on the way over, so you accidentally entered Hell?"
Xiao Yu knows how to daydream; in a short time she daydreamed out Broly's reason for coming to this world.
"No, my home planet is very safe; although it did nearly face a crisis of destruction before, I've already resolved that crisis."
"Wow, so you're a Savior then?"
"You could say that."
Xiao Yu was very interested in this topic, and just as she was preparing to deeply inquire what the crisis was and how the boy had saved his world, the landline in the antique shop rang — it was Jackie Chan calling.
"Xiao Yu, I've already contacted Captain Black, but he seems to have been temporarily suspended due to psychological issues.
He heard about Broly's situation and hopes you can bring him to District 13 to find him.
Of course, don't forget to return the Talisman you borrowed from District 13."
Jackie Chan instructed over the phone.
"Understood, Uncle Long, I'll take Broly there right away and return the borrowed Talisman."
Xiao Yu stood on a stool, one hand holding the phone, the other giving a salute.
"Broly, come with me."
"Where to?"
"To meet someone who can help you."
Xiao Yu put on her shoes and shouted into the house: "Tru, I'm taking Broly to District 13 to see Captain Black. If Dad wakes up from his nap, you tell him."
"Xiao Yu, I'll go with you..."
Before Tru could finish speaking, Xiao Yu had already run out with Broly.
On the road, Broly asked what District 13 was, because it sounded like the Talismans belonged to them.
"What is District 13? Uh, District 13 is a Super Agent organization, they often battle Demons!"
Of course, Xiao Yu's misunderstanding of District 13 made her popular science explanation seem somewhat fantastical; District 13 itself deals with international crime organizations, but after clashing with Walong and dragging Jackie Chan into it, things became somewhat fantastical.
What Demons, ninjas, dragons, and the like.
"Alright, we're here."
With the power of the Rabbit Talisman, Xiao Yu quickly brought Broly to the entrance of District 13 — a phone booth.
"The District 13 you speak of, is it underground?"
Broly pointed at the ground; he was able to feel quite a few Breaths underground.
"Eh, you unexpectedly know."
"How do we go down, penetrate the ground?"
"No, we take the Stairs; of course, if you want, we can also take the Elevator in front of us — this phone booth is a hidden Elevator."
Xiao Yu entered first, then beckoned Broly to come in; as the phone booth dialed a number, it was suddenly pulled by a hidden dark track into an openable wall, a moment of descent, and when the door opened, Captain Black was already here waiting for them.
"I am Black. I've heard about your situation from Jackie Chan. Welcome to District 13."
Captain Black spoke, and extended his hand toward Broly.
"Broly."
Broly passed his hand over and shook hands with the bald-headed man before him.
"Heard you have nowhere to go. I think I can help you."
"How will you help me?"
"Provide you a residence, and if you don't refuse, possibly also a not bad job."
Captain Black said, and the job he referred to was the District 13 specially-appointed Agent gig.
