Although the message was sent by a monster, Lin Fan was still a little worried, in case there really were people hiding here, waiting for rescue.
"Is anyone there?"
"I am the Warrior of Light, don't be afraid."
He had completely immersed himself in the role of the Warrior of Light. If there was such a thing as compatibility, he wouldn't dare say 100%, but at least 90%.
Walking, walking, he seemed to have reached the end. A stone gate blocked the way forward. There were many marks on the stone gate, seemingly man-made. It seemed someone had tried to open the stone gate, using various tools to damage it, but faced with this hard stone gate, nothing worked, and they finally gave up...
Lin Fan touched the stone gate. The texture was very rough, and a chill permeated through it. With a slight push, a creaking sound rang out, and the stone gate, weighing who knows how many tons, opened just like that.
The situation at this moment was like opening some kind of abyssal hell, with terrifying demons laughing wildly, expecting to see humans pay the price for their foolish actions.
The moment the stone gate was pushed open.
A not-so-pleasant smell wafted over.
"What a potent aroma." Lin Fan put his hand to the tip of his nose and waved it gently, trying to disperse the smell. It was very dark inside, without sunlight all year round. He hated darkness the most. Now he represented light, so naturally, he loved everything associated with it. Light was the right way.
Flames burned, dispelling the darkness.
The inside gradually became clear.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, he was shocked by the scene before him. This was indeed the end, and on the wall, a huge monster was embedded, with three heads and six arms, and a halo similar to a god behind it. However, this huge monster was a stone statue, not a living creature.
Just as he was engrossed in looking at these, low growls came from around him.
At this time, Lin Fan realized that he seemed to have come to the monster's lair.
The monsters were bizarre and varied, all kinds. They faced the stone statue in the darkness, as if they were on a pilgrimage. However, Lin Fan's arrival, dispelling the darkness, made these monsters seem a little dazed, perhaps because they had never thought that a human would dare to barge in here so rashly.
Low growls of anger were transmitted.
"Hello, I'm here to find someone. I didn't mean to intrude. You don't mind, do you?" Lin Fan waved to the monsters, acting very friendly, hoping they could understand that his appearance was not intentional, but accidental.
Pairs of bloodthirsty eyes stared at Lin Fan, flashing with scarlet light.
"Delicious food has arrived."
"I like this kind of food."
Trying to communicate with monsters was purely a waste of time. Just as Lin Fan wanted to continue saying something, the monsters swarmed towards him, wanting to devour him.
"How can you be so unfriendly?" Lin Fan was very dissatisfied with the behavior before him, but as soon as he finished speaking, he was instantly covered by the monsters.
A long time later!
The monsters paid the price for their actions. The steaming aroma of cooked meat rose. Lin Fan shook his head, wondering why these monsters were so unfriendly. Thinking carefully, they seemed to be just like the evil creatures he knew, but there were also friendly evil creatures. Perhaps this was the difference between the two sides.
At this time.
Lin Fan came to the monster stone statue and looked at it with great puzzlement.
"Why is there such a large stone statue here? Could this be the ancestor of the monsters?"
Lost in thought, he fell into deep contemplation.
He caressed the stone statue gently, as if tracing its origins.
"I can feel this stone statue... It's really cool."
At the academy.
"Brother Lin, where did you go earlier?" Cheng Zhi was very curious. In the time he had known Lin Fan, he had never seen him suddenly leave his post. In his heart, Lin Fan was a dedicated, good-tempered, and helpful person.
Lin Fan smiled and said, "I saw someone online who needed help, so I went to help him, but it turned out to be fake. It was a wasted trip."
"Brother Lin, a lot of things online are fake. You should be more careful in the future." Cheng Zhi knew that Brother Lin's departure must have been to do something very important, otherwise, how could he have left?
"Yeah, I know. But when encountering this kind of thing, whether it's true or false, you need to check it out. What if it's true?" Lin Fan said with a smile.
Cheng Zhi looked at Brother Lin's smile. No matter when, it was so charming.
"That's true. Brother Lin, I'm preparing to leave here. I'm afraid I won't be able to see you often in the future. Thank you for your help during this time. You've made me feel unparalleled happiness. I will always remember you."
After finishing speaking, Cheng Zhi bowed deeply to Lin Fan, thanking him for his help during this time.
This kindness was hard to forget.
"Where are you going again?" Lin Fan asked.
Cheng Zhi said, "I've already contacted Jinzhou City, and they are willing to accept me. I'll report there during this time. But Brother Lin, what do you mean by 'again'? Did someone else tell you too?"
"Yes, Tang Nayi told me earlier that she's going to Tongyang City with Xia Qingmiao. The only people I know here are the two of you." Lin Fan said with a smile, his expression slightly sad. After all, he didn't know many people here, and they were all leaving suddenly, so he was naturally a little sad. However, he wished them a bright future.
"Wow!" Cheng Zhi exclaimed, "Brother Lin, why didn't you seize this opportunity? I've seen Tang Nayi, she's really beautiful, just her chest is a bit small, but her twintails are very iconic. With your handsome face, Brother Lin, there's definitely no problem, hehe..."
He laughed a little lewdly.
Lin Fan said, "I'm a married man. How can I flirt with other girls?"
"Ah?" Cheng Zhi stared at Lin Fan dumbfounded, as if he had seen a ghost, somewhat disbelieving his words. How could he be married? He had never seen his wife.
"Don't act so surprised. It's true." Lin Fan patted Cheng Zhi's shoulder. "Be careful in a strange city. You're actually very good, and very capable. You have to believe in yourself."
Being praised by Lin Fan, Cheng Zhi was a little shy. "Brother Lin, don't praise me. I know my own limitations. I'm not as capable as you say. Since I started sparring, I haven't been able to hold a weapon, but I've already accepted it. Since I don't have talent in combat, I'll work hard in other areas. I believe I can definitely demonstrate my own value."
"I've discovered another advantage of yours. Don't say you have no advantages in the future. You do." Lin Fan said. He liked to praise others. Of course, his praise was based on real situations, not just empty words. That kind of praise was not good for anyone; it would only make others feel like he was insulting them indirectly.
Cheng Zhi scratched his head and smiled, embarrassed by Lin Fan's words. It felt good to be with Brother Lin, relaxed and without any pressure. He felt that Brother Lin was not like an ordinary person, but like a scholar, a scholar who could see through the hearts of others.
After chatting for a while.
Lin Fan watched Cheng Zhi leave. He knew Cheng Zhi was a very hardworking student, so he was willing to help him spar. He originally thought that if Cheng Zhi wasn't leaving so soon, he would give him some tomatoes when they ripened. Unfortunately... the timing wasn't right. He was leaving a bit too quickly.
"Hey, Cheng Zhi..." Lin Fan shouted.
Cheng Zhi, who had already walked quite far, turned around and looked at Brother Lin curiously.
"Believe in the light, the light will give you miracles."
Cheng Zhi raised his hand and made an 'ok' gesture.
Several days later!
Jinzhou City.
Extermination Agency.
Xiao Hong was the team leader in charge of this group of new recruits joining the Extermination Agency. Her indifferent expression made these new members very nervous.
And Cheng Zhi was among them.
Having just joined the Extermination Agency, he was very nervous and restrained, not as calm as the other members, because he was very disappointed with his own strength and felt that he had nothing to offer.
"Welcome to the Extermination Agency. You are all new graduates from the Special Warfare Academy. During this time, I will conduct physical training for you. Without good physical fitness, you won't even have a chance to escape when facing monsters."
"The training process will be very painful. If you can't bear it, you can only get out."
"Did you hear me clearly?"
All the members put their hands behind their backs, raised their heads, and shouted, "Yes, ma'am!"
Xiao Hong nodded with satisfaction, but she was a little regretful.
She had investigated the situation. Some very excellent students went to other cities after graduation and didn't come to Jinzhou City, which was a pity.
When fighting monsters, it was often not about strength, but agility. Women's bodies were light and flexible, and they could perform many difficult movements that men couldn't.
"Good, now go and get your dormitory assignments and uniforms. Formal training will begin tomorrow. He will lead you for the next part." Xiao Hong pointed at Wang Xiaojun.
Wang Xiaojun's expression was very serious, just like Xiao Hong's. There was no other way. When facing new students, they had to be serious and establish their authority. This was very important.
So for these students, it felt like they owed these seniors money.
"Cheng Zhi, you really joined the Extermination Agency? Aren't you afraid of dying?" Zhang Yue, who used to be Cheng Zhi's classmate, asked. He didn't look down on Cheng Zhi, but he thought that Cheng Zhi's situation and abilities didn't seem to allow him to fight monsters at all.
Cheng Zhi said, "I'm not afraid. My childhood dream was to join the Extermination Agency. I know what you're worried about, but don't worry, I applied for logistics, just driving for you and handling some electronic equipment."
Hearing his words, Zhang Yue was visibly relieved, as if he was thinking that if he really fought monsters in the future, and Cheng Zhi happened to be one of his teammates, the situation would definitely be very bad. He wouldn't dare to turn his back to him. Perhaps, as soon as he reacted, he would be killed by the monster.
If it were before.
Cheng Zhi would definitely be very sad, but now, he wouldn't feel that way. Brother Lin said his advantage was self-awareness. Thinking about it carefully, this advantage didn't seem so bad.
