Chapter 298: The Dark Knight of Xiling

The Demon Suppression Division of Gotham cannot catch Batman, but the Demon Suppression Division of Xiling can catch the Black Silk Knight.

The Black Silk Knight's debut was his funeral.

But fortunately, Lin Li has plenty of methods and connections; one must know that he was once a big shot who could handle both the black and white worlds.

When Lin Li eats Oreos, he never eats just the black 'Oreo' or just the white 'cream'.

If this isn't handling both black and white, what is?

Damn it, when he was a kid, Lin Li actually followed the commercials foolishly, licking, twisting, and dunking, thinking that was definitely the most delicious way.

Planet Cups and Oreos are truly the childhood mentors of some ducks, and have become the source of happiness for many wealthy ladies; they are the objects they need to thank the most.

Some men, the reason they can make women feel very comfortable the moment they open their mouths, might really not be because they are experienced, but simply because they are little gluttons.

In short, the well-connected Lin Li was eventually released from the Demon Suppression Division, though he still paid a price—the black silk stockings became the sacrificial lamb and were confiscated.

But it doesn't matter, there are still over a dozen pairs at home.

At this moment, I really have to thank Qu Wanqiu.

I never expected her gift to leave me with so many backup energy reserves.

Among the "three people and one dog," except for the "dog" being a useless thing, the gifts from the other "three people" now seem to be very much to Lin Li's liking.

Spending a little time, he returned to the Old Friend Road side.

Lin Li continued to start searching for his third round of targets.

If the efficiency is fast, maybe he can complete the task in a few days.

However, since Uncle Yan has already realized it, although he will never admit it, he has to fine-tune and change his methods.

But, perhaps it is because it is already past twelve o'clock, the true dead of night, or perhaps because of the arrival of two waves of Demon Suppression Division officers in a short time, which is considered rare on Old Friend Road, it has played a certain deterrent role.

In short, there are far fewer people on the road than at ten or eleven o'clock at night, and everyone is more like an iPhone.

The few groups of people he managed to encounter were either hurrying along with a very strong sense of purpose and didn't care about Lin Li at all, or they noticed Lin Li but had absolutely no evil intentions.

The people of Xiling are still too simple and honest.

Therefore, Lin Li decided to call it a night.

Tomorrow morning, or to be precise, during the day today, he still has to go to the library to study. With the current efficiency, there is no need to stay any longer; it is better to go home, sleep, and have a good time.

Anyway, the train of thought is already very clear, and the completion of this task is within reach, so there is no need to rush for this moment.

Putting the cash back into his pocket, Lin Li walked toward where his bicycle was parked.

Taking out his phone to scroll and kill time on the way, Lin Li saw a message sent to him by Yang Liang.

"Yang Liang: Lin Li? What are you doing right now?"

Lin Li blinked, not answering.

"Lin Li: Chatting with contacts on WeChat, what's up, Uncle."

"Yang Liang: Haha, nothing, Uncle couldn't sleep in the middle of the night and was thinking of chatting with you."

It's definitely not because you couldn't sleep, damn it.

Twenty minutes ago.

After coaxing the child to sleep and finishing combat training with his wife, Yang Liang took out his phone to look at it before bed to kill time.

Then he discovered that a WeChat group was suddenly very active in the middle of the night.

Clicking in to take a look, it turned out to be his former colleague Yan Aosong, with whom he had worked for a period, venting his frustrations in the group.

At the very top of the chat history, the thing that triggered tonight's heated situation was a radical statement.

"Yan Aosong: Hey, brothers, do you think it's feasible to use a 30cm dildo as a self-defense weapon?"

"Yan Aosong: No, I'm not joking, I'm very seriously discussing this point with you!"

"Yan Aosong: I'm not sick!"

"Yan Aosong: The one who is sick isn't me, it's this black-silk-filled world!"

"Yan Aosong: Damn it, you guys really don't know what I encountered in the middle of the night today. I say 'Guarding Jiefang West' shouldn't just guard Jiefang West, guard our Xiling too! If my case gets on the show, I think the ratings could explode."

This is not an official work group; it is a private one established by the brothers, so there is no need to worry about dirty words or anything, and they can speak freely.

Hearing Yan Aosong say this, naturally, someone asked curiously what happened to make him so excited.

"Yan Aosong: Don't mention it, I met a child tonight who is very hard to evaluate. If I say he is a bad person, what he did was indeed a thorough good deed, but if I say he is a good person, this child is good in a way that is a bit bad, just... very good and very bad."

Yang Liang laughed out loud when he saw this sentence.

Dying of laughter, seeing this description, the first person Yang Liang thought of was Lin Li.

"Yan Aosong: No, this child is the one who called the police. He was robbed. Although he doesn't admit it, he was deliberately robbed for the purpose of luring the enemy into the trap and bringing these robbers to justice, saying something about wanting to be the Xiling Black Silk Knight and using unconventional means to guard the justice of Xiling."

"Yan Aosong: @Guofei, I didn't type it wrong, he is the Black Silk Knight, the black silk you are thinking of."

"Yan Aosong: It's different from what you think. This child is not a simple middle-school-syndrome pervert. He can knock down four robbers by himself and remain unscathed, just relying on a stick. I say, among us brothers in the group, no one can do that, right?"

Also, if you say he has middle-school syndrome, his style of doing things is actually quite mature, and things are arranged quite logically, but if you say he is mature, I really can't say it."

"Heh, besides Lin Li, there is actually such a creature in the world..." Yang Liang laughed so hard he couldn't keep his mouth closed.

It feels like he would definitely have a lot in common with Lin Li.

Yang Liang even wanted to get to know him and then introduce him to Lin Li, letting magic defeat magic.

"Yan Aosong: @Zhang, yes, met him on Old Friend Road tonight, but that child doesn't live here, his home is in Ruiyun, and he is from a single-parent family."

Speaking of this, sigh, damn it, I didn't notice this information at first and even asked about his father's situation. Now that I think about it, I really want to slap myself. I'm really damned."

"Ha... eh?!"

The corner of Yang Liang's mouth, which he couldn't keep closed just a moment ago, dropped completely.

His Adam's apple rolled, saliva was swallowed, but his heart was lifted.

This sense of déjà vu was a bit too strong.

"It can't be, it can't be, it can't be."

"It must not be what I think."

"Lin Li is sleeping at home tonight."

"Yang Liang: Aosong, what is the name of the child you met tonight?"

Yang Liang chose to click on Yan Aosong's avatar for a private chat.

"Yan Aosong: Lin Li."

Yang Liang's hanging heart finally died.

"Yang Liang:..."

"Yan Aosong: Huh? What's wrong, Yang Liang, do you know this child? But I remember Ruiyun isn't your jurisdiction either, right?"

"Yang Liang: Don't mention it, now whenever I see the two words 'Lin Li', my heart skips a beat."

"Yan Aosong: Don't you mention it either, now whenever I see the two words 'skips a beat', my heart skips a beat too."

Yang Liang: "?"

Are you doing this on purpose?

"Yang Liang: Huh? Why is that?"

"Yan Aosong: It's a long story, Yang Liang. Do you know Batman? The one where a family of six legs enters an alley and only two legs come out."

"Yang Liang: Your description at the end is a bit redundant."

"Yan Aosong: In short, Black Silk Knight Lin Li wants me to be his Commissioner Gordon, so I have a bit of PTSD."

Yang Liang: "..."

Before knowing the name Lin Li, Yang Liang listened to Yan Aosong's description and felt more and more "absurd, there's such a thing (amused)", but now listening to Yan Aosong's addition, he felt more and more "otherwise, shouldn't it be like this (calm)".

"Yang Liang: I do know this child, tell me what exactly happened tonight."

"Yan Aosong: I can't explain it clearly by typing for a while, let's make a call, is it convenient? I also need to find someone to vent to."

"Yang Liang: Okay."

"..."

What a long call.

Eh, Yang Liang looked at his phone and was surprised to find that the call duration so far was only two Kun minutes.

Is it actually only five minutes?

How does Yang Liang feel like he's been talking for years?

"Yang Liang, do you think this child is amazing or not? He really stumped me. I feel like my thinking hasn't turned around yet, and I don't know how to persuade him."

"Sigh, I hope this child is just a three-minute heat."

Yan Aosong on the other end of the phone sighed heavily and prayed.

"He... tsk, he actually has quite a lot of perseverance," Yang Liang said, laughing and crying.

I really like one of Yan Aosong's sentences: "Huh?"

"Aosong, do you remember our Xiling's 'Clear Wind Operation' not long ago?"

"I know, you were the one leading it."

At that time, this anti-prostitution operation, because of its large scale and quantity, in order to 'kill with one blow', let alone Xiling's local police force, even reinforcements were transferred from other towns. Yan Aosong, as a local Demon Suppression Envoy, naturally participated as well.

"To be precise, it wasn't actually led by me, but by Lin Li," Yang Liang said lightly.

Yan Aosong: "?"

Still really like one of Yan Aosong's sentences: "Huh??"

"What does it have to do with him?"

"It was all reported by this child. Doesn't our official account have a related report? The little Li classmate inside is Lin Li.

And the chicken farm map for that operation was designed by him and then forwarded to me. So I said, this child has perseverance and is truly a person who will fight for his ideals and goals."

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Yan Aosong, who knew the truth, had tears flowing out~

"Yang Liang, shouldn't I have given that child my personal contact information?" Yan Aosong's voice had a faint sense of death.

"... You're done for, Aosong."

"Wait, Yang Liang, did I hear you laughing?"

"No, you know, I've undergone professional training, no matter how funny it is, I won't laugh, hahahahaha."

"I have the same profession as you, damn it, I've also undergone professional training, so I can tell right away that you are laughing!"

Yang Liang moved the phone away from his ear and then laughed without covering it up.

Yang Liang actually agrees with one sentence: don't persuade others to be kind without experiencing their suffering.

Don't judge others without experiencing their hardships.

But sorry, Yang Liang has really experienced it.

And with Lin Li's personality, he might really buy a fake dildo to continue fishing for robbers. Yang Liang couldn't help but laugh when he thought of this.

The level of excitement of the cases Yan Aosong will have to face will be beyond imagination.

The only thing to be thankful for is that Lin Li chose to act in the middle of the night this time, with far fewer unrelated passersby than during the previous anti-prostitution operation, otherwise Yang Liang would really want to look forward to what the photos leaked from the scene would look like.

"Aosong, it seems you'll have to be a bit busier during this time and maintain public order more," Yang Liang said with a smile.

"Being a bit busier doesn't matter, that's the job," Yan Aosong sighed first. He wasn't worried about this point, and said somewhat helplessly:

"I'm just worried that this child will play too hard one day and get himself hurt.

Although Lin Li's heart is very vicious, he is also very kind. I really don't want to see that scene."

Hearing this, Yang Liang's smile also dissipated.

Yan Aosong was really right.

This kind of fishing using oneself as bait is very dangerous.

Although with Xiling's public order, there are definitely no sharks in the fish pond, there will always be a few fish hiding in the mud that are not good people and can bite a fisherman until he loses everything.

"You're right, let me see if I can persuade this child," thinking of this, Yang Liang frowned and said.

"Lin Li: Uncle, do you also know Uncle Yan?"

Lin Li asked directly.

Just as Lin Li knows that nothing good will happen whenever he looks for Yang Liang, Lin Li can also roughly guess why Yang Liang contacted him suddenly at this time.

So Yang Liang's call came through.

"Lin Li, are you still on Old Friend Road?" Yang Liang asked straight to the point.

"On my way home," Lin Li responded.

"Uncle really should have been more wary of you, I believed your nonsense again," Yang Liang sighed. He was still too careless not to tell Lin Li this information.

However, Yang Liang also knew that even if Lin Li didn't find out from him, he would always be able to find out, it would just take a little more time.

"I have roughly learned the situation from your Uncle Yan. Lin Li, stop while you can, while there is still time, you still have a way back," Yang Liang said earnestly.

Lin Li: "?"

"Uncle, why does this sound so strange?"

How does it feel like he is walking on a path of no return?

"What you are doing is too dangerous. Your Uncle Yan's worries are also my worries. You will get hurt sooner or later. Sigh, others avoid danger, how can you face danger head-on like this?

And your behavior is actually already acting in a gray area."

Yang Liang sighed somewhat distressingly.

"I will distinguish the black and white in the gray myself. As for danger, Uncle, your identity makes saying this to me really unconvincing," Lin Li said with a smile.

The profession of Demon Suppression Envoy is about facing danger head-on.

Yang Liang paused, as if choked, but then said:

"The responsibilities everyone has to bear are different. You are still a child now. If you want to serve everyone, you have to wait until you grow up, apply for relevant universities, and do this after graduation.

By then, Uncle will not only not stop you, but will be the first to support you."

"But Uncle, I'm already eighteen. According to my friend, it's an age where I can already be sentenced to death. I'm no longer a child," Lin Li shook his head and responded.

"As long as you are still in the first year of high school, you are a child in Uncle's eyes. Your top priority now is to study. If the sky falls, I'll hold it up," Yang Liang said seriously.

"But Uncle, I'm 186cm tall. By the time you hold it up, I'll already have been smashed to death by the sky," Lin Li said out of the blue.

Yang Liang: "?"

He is indeed not as tall as Lin Li, but this child talks too much like Lin Li.

Seeing that Yang Liang's words were blocked by him and he was speechless for a moment, Lin Li smiled and spoke again:

"Don't worry, Uncle, I know your worries, but there's no need for this.

I have a sense of what I'm doing. The development of things is under my control, and I will never easily let myself fall into danger.

I am a child-faced wolf, simple and innocent on the surface, but smooth and transparent in reality. It's impossible for anyone to scheme against me, because from the beginning, those people were laid out by me. I am the chess player, and they are just chess pieces. If they defy me..."

Lin Li began to chant.

Yang Liang: "..."

"That's enough, child-faced wolf, I think you look more like a braised chicken! You will definitely take a big tumble with this mentality sooner or later!"

Knowing that Lin Li was joking, Yang Liang still scolded him.

"Mentality is healthy, don't worry!

In short, I really have a sense of what I'm doing. I will only target bad people who I feel I can ensure I can retreat unscathed from, and who truly have no hidden difficulties.

And you should have heard that I fought four little punks tonight. Let alone getting hurt, those guys didn't even attack me at all.

Not bragging to you, Uncle Yang, now if that guy named Tai came in front of me, I would have the confidence to use a few moves on him."

"How old is Tyson now? Are you trying to wear out an old man?" Yang Liang commented sharply.

"But I'm talking about Taro," Lin Li added, making a standard Tiga 'Cha' sound in his mouth.

Yang Liang: "..."

Who the hell told you to fight Taro.

Does Lin Li fight Ultraman?

Will he win?

"It's very serious now, stop with this nonsense," Yang Liang said helplessly and amusedly.

"Speaking seriously to you is also to let you rest assured, I really won't get hurt," Lin Li could only repeat, "And Uncle, I don't intend to do this forever. After a while, I might change to another field to play."

Lin Li said it very seriously, hoping Yang Liang would believe him.

Unfortunately, there are many things Lin Li cannot say.

With the "Death-Replacing Jade-Faced Buddha" as a god-like trump card, Lin Li doesn't have to fear death, at least he has a chance to test and correct errors, which is the first big guarantee.

And the ban on guns in the East is Lin Li's second guarantee.

In the territory under his feet, any case involving guns will instantly establish a special task force.

Citizens know the stakes, and bad people also have a sense of the stakes in their hearts.

Lin Li's middle-of-the-night fishing style, in Xiling, can be said to absolutely never encounter any opponents with guns.

In the East, the most dangerous market is only the stock market.

And without guns, when it comes to close combat, Lin Li really doesn't feel like he fears anyone.

After the martial arts talent is improved, the efficiency of the Eight-Stage Body Tempering Art in improving physical fitness is increasing.

Lin Li raised a hand, and the electric arc flowed between his five fingers according to Lin Li's will. Waving his hand, the arc flew to the ground, leaving a charred patch and floating white smoke.

The magic arts have also achieved some success, counting the magic treasures...

Lin Li has already stopped being human.

"Sigh," hearing the determination in Lin Li's words, and knowing before that Lin Li is a humanoid creature with his own opinions and is very stubborn, Yang Liang sighed and didn't persuade him anymore, at least he couldn't persuade him anymore today, just urged:

"You go home first, pay attention to safety on the way home, if there is anything you need help with, don't be polite, just tell me directly."

"I know, I know, Uncle, I'm the least polite person," Lin Li nodded like a chick pecking at rice.

Yang Liang suspected that this was the only truth he heard Lin Li say today.

"Okay, I'm hanging up, send me a message when you get home to keep me safe."

"Uncle, isn't it a coincidence, I just arrived home."

"Turn on location sharing."

"Oh, looked wrong, this isn't my house, then I'll have to wait a while to get home."

"You brat!"

Finally, Lin Li urged Yang Liang not to tell Wu Min about this kind of thing, and then hung up the phone.

Whether it's Uncle Yang or Uncle Yan, they are really good to him.

Uncle Yang's hidden difficulty, Lin Li will definitely cure it after successfully cultivating immortality, letting little Yang Liang rejuvenate.

Uncle Yan's wishes are not yet known, but there should be many opportunities in the future, we'll talk about it later.

"Little alley, little alley."

To prevent the bike from being stolen, Lin Li didn't lock the bicycle randomly on the side of the road but hid it, so now he is walking toward the little alley in his memory.

However, just as he approached, Lin Li's keen hearing heard a female voice with panting and crying.

"Don't... let go of me!"

"Please stop... I'm really scared!"

"I'll kill you if you move again! Do you think anyone will come to save you? Take off your pants, hurry, right now," another male voice said in a low, fierce tone.

Lin Li: "?"

Damn, it's a wild rapist!
