章 554: Chapter 554: Return
The conversations of passersby reached Lin Fan's ears.
"It seems my mission is nearing completion."
All that remained was to wait. When the light spread throughout the world, the mission would be accomplished. He hadn't expected it to be so simple.
As for what to do before the mission was complete…
He decided to find another job.
He pondered carefully about what kind of work would be suitable. After much thought, he decided to find something undemanding, unlike his previous restaurant job, which kept him busy all day. While delivering food, if someone needed the light to appear, the previous situation could easily reoccur.
Finally, Lin Fan found a pretty good job: a residential security guard. He would patrol the complex, a job with plenty of freedom, which wouldn't cause the previous issue.
Room and board included, the salary was 1,800.
A pretty good job.
During his downtime, Lin Fan would browse his phone. Chen Jianjian had made a comeback. Of course, he wasn't creating new works, but instead, he was telling stories about himself and the Warrior of Light. His fanbase was mostly male; while his largest following had once been children, it was now adult men.
The aging Chen Jianjian was experiencing a resurgence in popularity.
It seemed pretty good.
Even better than when he was creating. He was invited to give speeches all over, with considerable appearance fees. Wherever he appeared, he was met with thunderous applause.
Now, manufacturers were frantically producing merchandise related to the Warrior of Light. It was incredibly popular, basically reaching the point of being in short supply. The appearance of the Warrior of Light had a tremendous impact on society and the world.
Women used to tell men, "If you don't even watch this show, you must not like me. We're not compatible." Now, the situation had completely reversed. Men were telling women, "If you haven't even seen the Warrior of Light, if you don't have light in your heart, then what are we even talking about? Let's break up. I need to find a girl with light."
Meanwhile, the Extermination Agency was delighted with this development. It invisibly stabilized everyone's hearts. The existence of monsters had previously caused widespread panic, as no one knew how long they would live.
For ordinary people, the warriors of the Extermination Agency were indeed strong, but they were still flesh-and-blood humans. Compared to monsters, there was still a gap.
Now, with the appearance of the Warrior of Light, a being beyond human, a legendary figure, their anxious hearts were naturally soothed.
What was there to fear about monsters?
We had the Warrior of Light.
The only thing the Extermination Agency couldn't quite figure out was… under what circumstances the Warrior of Light would appear. They desperately wanted to have a good chat with the Warrior of Light, but unfortunately… they couldn't even meet him, let alone chat.
Time flew by.
The Warrior of Light seemed to have vanished without a trace.
Members of the Extermination Agency still had to venture out on dangerous missions, with low success rates, often at great cost.
The Yong City Extermination Agency team left the city on a mission.
They encountered danger.
The monsters seemed to have undergone some kind of transformation, not only gaining intelligence but also experiencing a significant increase in strength and size.
The Extermination Agency members were surrounded by monsters.
They faced annihilation at any moment.
A young member, trembling, pulled a Warrior of Light toy from his pocket, placed it on the ground, and knelt before it, kowtowing.
"Warrior of Light, please appear!"
"I beg you!"
The surrounding members were filled with anticipation, but more than that, a sense of helplessness. Perhaps at this moment, they could only believe in the Warrior of Light, a being who had indeed appeared, but whose nature remained a mystery.
They prayed in their hearts.
Believe in the light, and the light will bring miracles.
And at that moment, an invisible light began to coalesce within their bodies.
The light truly appeared.
The Warrior of Light stood before them.
Everyone stared wide-eyed.
It actually worked…
Newspaper office!
A newspaper spun rapidly, then suddenly stopped, the image frozen on the appearance of the Warrior of Light.
"Yongzhou Extermination Team Encounters Danger in the Wasteland, Warrior of Light Appears!!"
Large quantities of printed newspapers flew to all parts of the country, filling shops large and small. The internet was flooded with news about the Warrior of Light.
Over the next two months, news continued to break.
"Jing City Extermination Team Encounters Warrior of Light!!"
"Huai City Under Monster Attack, Warrior of Light Annihilates Monsters!!"
In just two months, news of the Warrior of Light frequently surfaced. The last piece of news appeared online:
"Light, Truly Exists!"
Recently, Lin Fan had been very busy, constantly battling monsters. It was rather dull, as the monsters were weak. However, he could feel that the light had entered the depths of everyone's hearts.
Through his own efforts, he had spread the light.
He could sense that the mission completion notification was imminent.
Jinzhou City.
Cheng Zhi was running alone on the track. Although he had become a combat member in Jinzhou City, he still knew very little, only able to block and push. Even so, his colleagues were amazed.
"Cheng Zhi…"
A voice called out.
Cheng Zhi turned and saw a familiar face. His heart leaped with excitement. "Brother Lin…"
He had been looking for Lin Fan for a long time, but hadn't been able to find him.
"How have you been?" Lin Fan asked with a smile. Seeing Cheng Zhi's condition, he knew he must be doing well.
"Pretty good, Brother Lin. What have you been up to lately? I went to look for you, and they said you had quit." Cheng Zhi felt that his ability to withstand monster attacks was definitely due to Brother Lin's training. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to withstand them.
Lin Fan said, "Yeah, I went to find another job. I worked as a waiter, then quit again. Now I'm a security guard in a residential complex. It's a pretty good job."
"Brother Lin, let me have your number so I can contact you later."
"No need. I came to say goodbye. I'm probably going back."
"Huh?"
Cheng Zhi looked at Lin Fan in confusion.
He didn't understand what he meant.
"Here." Lin Fan tossed a tomato to Cheng Zhi. "I promised you before. I went back to the academy and found that those tomato plants hadn't been cleared away and had borne fruit. They're a bit small, but they taste pretty good."
Cheng Zhi caught the tomato and looked at Lin Fan, his mind full of questions.
He recalled what Brother Lin had just said.
Suddenly, he realized something.
He had been following the news about the Warrior of Light.
The Warrior of Light always appeared in one of three outfits.
The first time was a security uniform.
The second time was a restaurant waiter's uniform.
And this third time…
It was exactly the same as what Brother Lin was wearing now.
"Could it be…"
Cheng Zhi's eyes widened, his gaze sharp. The more he thought about it, the more he felt it might be true.
"Brother Lin, you wouldn't happen to be…"
He didn't finish his sentence, but looked at Lin Fan in shock. Brother Lin definitely knew what he was talking about.
Lin Fan smiled enigmatically and waved at Cheng Zhi. "I'm leaving. Take care of yourself. Believe in the light, and the light will bring miracles."
As soon as he finished speaking, his body dissolved into specks of light and vanished before Cheng Zhi's eyes.
Cheng Zhi was completely dumbfounded, muttering to himself,
"So Brother Lin really was the Warrior of Light. He was always hiding among us, and I didn't even know…"
Tongyang City.
Tang Nayi tilted her head, looking at the sky.
"I wonder if that uncle is really the Warrior of Light?"
"He said the same thing to me as the Warrior of Light."
Sitting on the rooftop, she fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, a figure appeared beside her, gently patting her shoulder. "What are you thinking about?"
"Ah!" Tang Nayi nearly fell off the roof. She had been deep in thought and was startled by the sudden pat on her shoulder.
"Don't be nervous, it's me," Lin Fan said.
"Oh, it's you, Uncle…" Tang Nayi breathed a sigh of relief when she saw who it was, but soon, she sensed something was amiss. "Wait a minute… Uncle, how did you get here?"
Lin Fan smiled. "Just checking on you, came to say goodbye."
"Goodbye?"
"Yes, I'm going back."
Tang Nayi was full of questions, not understanding what her uncle meant. It all felt rather strange.
"I know you have a lot of questions, but I really just came to see you. Thanks for the breakfast these past three months." Lin Fan said with a smile.
Then, Tang Nayi noticed Lin Fan's clothing. She felt like she had seen it somewhere before. Suddenly, it hit her…
"Uncle, your clothes look exactly like what the Warrior of Light was wearing recently. You wouldn't happen to be the Warrior of Light, would you?"
She felt it was a real possibility.
She had suspected it for a long time.
But she had never had any proof.
Lin Fan smiled and waved. Under Tang Nayi's shocked gaze, he gradually transformed into light and disappeared without a trace.
"Holy crap!"
Tang Nayi, who always considered herself a lady, completely lost her composure at this sight. She nearly jumped out of her skin, her eyes wide.
"Qingmiao… That uncle really was the Warrior of Light!"
She shouted.
But her uncle was already gone.
By now, Lin Fan had heard the mission completion notification.
He thought about the giant monster statue he had seen in the depths and had a bad feeling about it.
"I need to do something. I can't just leave like this."
"The light needs to be passed on, to exist forever."
"In that case, Warrior of Light, protect it in my place."
A ball of light surged from Lin Fan's body, merging with the world.
From this day forward…
The story of the Warrior of Light continued, but more people preferred to call him the Giant of Light.
Mission: Complete!
Note: By spreading the light in everyone's hearts, you have filled this world with light.
Reward: Light Avatar.
Next Arrival: December 1st.
Return!
Yanhai City!
The night was quiet.
Having returned, Lin Fan was already familiar with his situation. This dream hadn't been long, and he hadn't forgotten anyone. He glanced over at Old Zhang, who was fast asleep.
He closed his eyes.
Time to sleep.
He still had to work tomorrow.
November 1st!
The morning air was fresh.
When Lin Fan woke up, he found many messages on his phone.
They were all from people who had received messages from him last night, asking for clarification.
There was Xiaobao.
There was One-Eyed Man.
There was Director Hao.
And there was a message from his wife…
The first thing Lin Fan did upon waking was to send a group message.
The dream is over…
