Chapter 119 Treating guests, beheading, accepting them as dogs! Treating guests~(1/2)
In the evening, Lin Xiao returned to the underground base of the coffee shop and visited Chu Yun who was transferred to a single ward.
There is an old TV in the ward, and the female anchor on the screen is excitedly announcing the news:
“The mysterious and powerful ‘Epee Man’ appeared in Xihai City and killed super S-class monsters with one sword!”
"He saved Xihai City, saved the Golden State, and saved thousands of lives. He is a hero of the entire federation!"
Lin Xiao was listening with interest, feeling a sense of accomplishment that "it's all done, I just brushed off my clothes and hid my merits and fame".
The screen was cut off.
The man, who was wrapped like a mummy with only his thin face exposed, held the remote control in one hand and looked at the door wordlessly.
Sigrid, who was sitting next to the hospital bed, noticed Lin Xiao at the door of the ward. She exhaled softly, her cheeks were slightly red, and she stood up hurriedly as if she was nervous, and said:
"You, you two talk first, I'll go consult the doctor..."
Lin Xiao sat down on the chair at the head of the bed, put the soft Dafu on his lap, picked up the knife and apple, lowered his head and said:
"Doctor? She is a doctor herself, right?"
Sigrid is good at hacking technology, medical treatment, intelligence and other auxiliary means, which is written in the file. Compared with the captain "Raven" who is responsible for coordinating operations, the little secretary is more like the core figure of the "special agent team".
Chu Yun propped himself up, looked at Lin Xiao peeling the apple, and said in a low voice: "She knows you are the 'Epee Man'."
Click.
Lin Xiao took a bite of the apple, nodded silently, and said:
"I am mentally prepared for others to know about this... Is she the only one who knows about it?"
Chu Yun's eyes were complicated, he lay back on the pillow, looked at the ceiling and said:
"I don't know. Currently I only know that Sigrid learned your identity through surveillance videos... I asked her to cover up your information, but you know very well that if someone is willing to check it out, they will be able to find out.
of."
In ancient Egyptian mythology, the true name of the sun god "Ra" has magical powers. The pharaoh who knows the true name of "Ra" can easily control him.
Although this is an exaggeration, it also expresses a common idea in mythology, that is, the "true name" is one of the sources of the power of gods.
Lin Xiao, just like the "real name" of the epee man, makes countless people flock to him, and when exposed, there is a hidden danger.
"Epee Man." Chu Yun paused and whispered: "You have the strength to kill Theseus. I know that you can't be stuck "here" forever."
"No matter what you want to do," Chu Yun squeezed out a sigh, "you have to hurry up."
Is the seventh level strong? Of course it is, but currently the Federation has not officially expressed its stance on the 'Theseus Incident', and it is not clear what the federation's attitude is towards the seventh level strong man, the "Epee Man".
Lin Xiao guessed that there would only be three attitudes:
Either give a heavy reward, which is called "treating guests"; or you can openly praise and secretly investigate, which is called "beheading"; or you can accept the "heavy sword man" as a dog.
Which card the perfect "unparalleled national warrior" Roman will play will also determine Lin Xiao's attitude towards him in the future.
Lin Xiao sighed softly in his heart.
Many times, when you help "them" save the people and resolve the crisis, not only will they not be grateful, they will even blame you and put their own faults on the heroes.
Because the "Epee Man" is not under federal control and is not subject to jurisdiction, he is like a time bomb.
Even though his actions are like a savior in the eyes of the people, they are like a thorn in the flesh in the eyes of the Federation.
Heroes in the darkness are often not welcomed by the sun... It's very romantic, very absurd, and very realistic.
Of course, there are ways to break the situation.
Lin Xiao's eyes were cold.
After breaking through the seventh level, climb up again. Also, continue to look for the power of the devil that does not belong to humans.
The ward suddenly fell silent, except for Dafu's slight snoring as he took a nap.
"Hey." Chu Yun said reluctantly.
"What's wrong?" Lin Xiao thought the big brother had any other words of warning.
"Do you have any more apples? Peel one for me...thank you."
"...Here."
Lin Xiao's knife skills were good. He quickly cut the apple into small pieces, placed it on a plate, and inserted a toothpick: "Do you want to help you up?"
"I haven't been seriously injured to the point of paralysis."
The man complained expressionlessly, leaning up and looking at the bunny-shaped apple with a strange look in his eyes: "It's quite cute..."
"Haha, it's not that powerful." Lin Xiao scratched his head.
Chu Yun was speechless. This boy, Zhanthesius, was very low-key, but now he suddenly got carried away with his pride.
Chewing the apple in silence, in order to ease the silence, Chu Yun said: "I have wanted to ask for a long time...how are you so strong?"
The prerequisite for controlling high-level cards is that the card master has the power and character to control the cards. The big sword that can kill Theseus is certainly impressive, but Lin Xiao who wields the sword is equally important.
"Because I am born with supernatural powers." Lin Xiao said casually.
This time Chu Yun did not refute, a slight arc appeared on his pale face, as if thinking of the time when they first met, he said softly:
"Really... No matter what, thank you very much this time..."
"It's okay, good times are yet to come." Lin Xiao said.
Now that Brother Chu Yun knows my identity, it will be convenient for me to take him with me when I go on missions in the future and let him do some work of cleaning up trash fish.
Although this guy is seriously injured every time... his recovery ability is amazing. What does this mean? The assassin has maxed out his tankiness?
"Huh?" Chu Yun felt a little uncomfortable.
"I mean, I hope you will support me more in the future, captain." Lin Xiao smiled.
This smile looked a little scary in Chu Yun's eyes. He coughed and said:
"Tonight at eight o'clock, the team leader is organizing a team building dinner, and you have to come too."
"Team building? A time like this? Are you going to wear bandages and casts, use a cane, or use a wheelchair?"
"It's so noisy. You'd better become a heavy swordsman so you can talk less."
"Do you think I am a Kamen Rider who can transform by pressing a transformer?" Lin Xiao paused.
It seems to work.
This is not the point. The point is that having a dinner tonight can save money on the next meal.
Although he is almost a seventh-level strong man, he still maintains the virtue of frugality... As expected of me.
"Oh..." Dafu woke up and looked up.
It's obviously because our family is very poor...
Eat more at dinner tonight and save some fat, so you can eat less when you get home.
Ho ho ho, I’m quite economical too! Dafu thought.

Federal Building, top floor.
In the spacious office, there is a huge floor-to-ceiling window, through which you can overlook the magnificent night view. Standing next to this floor-to-ceiling window, it feels like you have the entire city under your feet.
Standing by the window was a silver-haired man in a suit. Roman was dressed in formal office attire today, looking like a diligent and caring federal president.
In other words, he can observe and play any role well. Before the age of thirty, he was the most handsome and famous male movie star in the Federation.
The documents placed on the bright handmade writing table are all related to the "Theseus Incident".
Due to the Federation's failure to respond to the "Theseus Incident", letters of accusation came in like snowflakes, and some even pointed the finger at Roman himself, asking why he didn't "cut space" for rescue.
Of course Roman can use the method of "shattering space" to teleport, but he can only teleport over short distances and cannot cross more than half of the federation to support the Golden State.
He has sent people to track down this anonymous letter of accusation... I believe that the truth will be revealed soon.
As for the "Theseus Incident".
Super S-class monsters are not worth mentioning in Roman's eyes. He is more concerned about why the "Epee Man" suddenly appeared in the Federation.
The sudden appearance of a seventh-level card master in the federal country was like a sudden appearance of a porcupine covered in thorns at home. Roman could not ignore it under any circumstances.
If the "Epee Man" is willing to accept the management of the federation, it will be easy to handle. Roman will give him the top treatment of a seventh-level national warrior.
I'm worried that he will continue like this, "acting freely" like a dark hero.
Freedom refers to the freedom of the owner of the house, not the freedom of the porcupine that breaks into the yard.
The door behind was open, and there was a knock on the door. Roman turned his back to the secretary and said, "Please speak."
The secretary said respectfully: "We have been able to find out the address of the virtual cabin of the 'Epee Man', which is located in Star Map City. Combined with the analysis of the intelligence department, we can basically confirm that the offline identity of the 'Epee Man' is in Star Map City."
A member of the investigation team."
Roman's heart moved slightly and he asked calmly: "The epee man...is a member of the federal investigation team?"
He relaxed his vigilance slightly. This at least showed that the epee man was not a dangerous person and there was no need to send someone to "behead" him.
To be continued...
