Chapter 527: Side Story: Qi Lin and Sun Wukong

Side Story: Qi Lin and Sun Wukong

Qi Lin looked at the night outside the window, which was as bright as day, her brows furrowed tightly.

It was obvious that she was thinking about something; otherwise, she wouldn't be like this.

A moment later, Qi Lin took a diary out of her desk drawer.

After placing it on the table, she picked up a pen, opened the diary, and began to write.

"Today is April 3rd, Void Calendar year 6200.

This is the 200th year of the Void's invasion of the galaxy, and I am very conflicted right now, not knowing what to do.

If it were the me from before, the me from the Shion Corps, then I would definitely have thrown myself into the battle to resist the Void without hesitation, fighting on the front lines.

But now... I am just an ordinary police officer, Qi Lin. Oh, I got promoted 100 years ago.

The matter of resisting the Void should be left to those Super Soldiers; they have awakened their Heart Flame and are more suitable than me. I only have the most ordinary first-generation Super Gene of the Shenhe.

Even if I took the serum... it wouldn't be of much use, because my main weapon is a Sniper Rifle, while my opponents are Void creatures...

I think I am probably not suitable.

I had better just do my own job well."

Writing up to this point, Qi Lin let out a long sigh and closed the diary.

Qi Lin's original intention was to join the legion, but she felt that as a sniper, she wouldn't be of much use; after all, the opponent was the Void.

It was not like typical opponents, where as long as you sniped the leader, the other side would fall into chaos.

That was why she had been hesitating and conflicted all this time.

After being lost in thought for a while, Qi Lin lay on the bed and slowly drifted into dreamland.

The next morning.

Qi Lin got up as usual, and after tidying up, she arrived at the police station to begin her day's work.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was noon.

Qi Lin was eating lunch absent-mindedly, the chopsticks in her hand poking incessantly at a meatball in her bowl; within a few minutes, the meatball was riddled with holes.

With another long sigh, Qi Lin ate the now-riddled meatball in one bite.

Afterward, she was about to return to her workstation to continue working.

But before that, she needed to go outside to get some air.

Just as Qi Lin stood still.

Two shadows descended from the sky and landed perfectly in front of her.

This sudden scene startled Qi Lin, causing her to step back several times.

After she saw clearly the two figures in front of her, she finally let out a sigh of relief.

"Hou Ge, and A Li?"

"Why did you two suddenly come to find me!"

A Li gave a playful smile.

"Hehe, are you surprised to see us both, Sister Qi Lin!"

Sun Wukong pointed toward the direction of Qi Lin's office.

"Aren't you going to invite me in to sit for a while, Qi Lin?"

Qi Lin then came back to her senses and hurriedly walked in front to lead the way.

"Ah, come in, Hou Ge, A Li."

Soon, the three of them arrived in the office and took their seats one by one.

Qi Lin poured a glass of water for each of them.

"Hou Ge, is there something you came to find me for this time?"

Sun Wukong set his water glass to the side.

"Hmm..."

"A Li and I want to join the legion to resist the Void invasion. I promised my master that I would protect this world for him. Now that the demons have come, it is time for me to act."

"So, I came here this time to ask for your thoughts. If you want to go, the three of us can go together."

"Qi Lin, what do you think?"

After Sun Wukong finished speaking, he waited quietly for Qi Lin's reply.

Qi Lin opened her mouth; she really wanted to agree right then and go with Sun Wukong.

But thinking about how little of a role she could play in this war, Qi Lin finally shook her head.

"No, Hou Ge."

"You and A Li go ahead. I am doing quite well right now, and I can also protect the people, can't I?"

Seeing Qi Lin refuse, Sun Wukong did not say anything more; he just nodded, then left the place with A Li.

Only Qi Lin was left behind.

Looking at the seat in front of her, Qi Lin remained stunned for a very, very long time.

Half a month passed in a flash.

During these half a month, Qi Lin's state was absent-minded every day, looking as if her soul had wandered away.

Finally, Qi Lin made up her mind.

She sat in her office, slammed her hand on the table, then stood up, took off her clothes, changed into the armor forged from Dark Alloy, and picked up her exclusive Sniper Rifle.

She folded her clothes neatly, then placed a letter beside them.

Immediately after, she turned around and left the place without looking back.

She was going to join the legion and contribute her part to resisting the Void.

Even if she were just a sniper who couldn't play a major role, she would not give up.

However, Qi Lin was overthinking it.

After she joined the legion, she immediately received the latest model of Sniper Rifle, as well as Power Armor exclusive to snipers.

At the same time, she was assigned to the Vermilion Bird Legion.

The next day, he encountered Liu Chuang, who was the Deputy Commander of the Azure Dragon Legion.

Liu Chuang was very surprised to see Qi Lin.

"Oh my goodness, who is this? Look who I've found!"

"Isn't this little sister Qi Lin!"

As Liu Chuang spoke, he took a big step forward and put his arm around Qi Lin's shoulder very affectionately.

"Little sister Qi Lin, why did you only just arrive?"

"We've been waiting for you for so long, you've finally come!"

After finishing, Liu Chuang dragged Qi Lin and walked toward the Vermilion Bird Commander's office.

While walking, he said, "Little sister Qi Lin, I'll go find the Vermilion Bird Commander and ask for a leave of absence for you."

"We have to have a good get-together tonight! We haven't seen each other for over 6,000 years; we've missed you to death!"

"No, Liu Chuang, I just joined the Vermilion Bird Legion; isn't it not very good for me to ask for leave on my first day? Wait!" Not giving Qi Lin a chance to continue speaking.

Liu Chuang brought her to the Vermilion Bird Commander's office.

With a few simple words, the leave was granted.

It was just that Qi Lin was a bit unhappy.

"Liu Chuang, you asked for leave for me on my very first day here; you're really afraid I'll have a good life in the future!"

Liu Chuang, however, waved his hand grandly.

"It's fine, this leave was given by the Chief Engineer; the Vermilion Bird Commander won't make things difficult for you!"

Qi Lin still wanted to say something, but Liu Chuang had already dragged her and was walking quickly toward the headquarters of the Qinglong Legion.

In the blink of an eye, the two arrived at the Qinglong headquarters.

When Liu Chuang pushed open the large door, a huge burst of confetti descended from the sky, fluttering down and landing all over Qi Lin.

Subsequently, the voices of the crowd reached Qi Lin's ears.

"Qi Lin, long time no see!"

"Welcome back!"

Qi Lin looked up and saw Ge Xiaolun, Di Leina, Du Qiangwei, Cheng Yaowen, Rui Mengmeng, Sun Wukong, A Li, Zhao Xin—everyone from the Super Seminary was there!

Not a single one missing!

At this moment, Qi Lin could no longer control her emotions, and tears began to well up in her eyes.

Those were tears representing joy.

Although she had only been a comrade-in-arms with the people of the Super Seminary for a period of time, that time was still unforgettable for a lifetime.

After a lapse of six thousand years, everyone was reunited again, and not a single one was missing; how rare is such a probability!

"Everyone, I'm back!"

Qi Lin wiped away her tears and walked into the headquarters of the Qinglong Legion.
